Planning

Lesson: With three teenagers – meal planning becomes an absolute. Mainly because it helps keeps my grocery bill down.

This week I have changed a few things up

Each teen is tasked with cooking dinner one night. They have to create the grocery list for their meal and they have to feed five people with that meal. It is a meal that they pick. This weekโ€™s rule was that it has to include a vegetable. They have $10 budget each. They are also allowed to use the waffle maker, crockpot, stove and oven but no straight microwave meals. They are allowed to use sales and coupons but they havenโ€™t thought that far yet. ๐Ÿ˜‚

I didnโ€™t really think this out as pasta is on the menu twice this week ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

Next week the rules will include no pasta and it has to be healthy ๐Ÿ˜‚

I feel like they should really have a better understanding of why I get so irritated when they waste food plus they are learning budgeting for when they are poor college students ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

Hopefully I donโ€™t get food poisoning ๐Ÿ˜‚ #parenting
