Menu planning is a great way to also save money. By planning your meals, you can make sure you buy exactly what you need, stick to your budget, and create healthy homecooked meals.
This works under the assumption that you keep certain pantry staples always stocked. (Here is a great site that has a pantry staples list: http://www.realsimple.
