Organize your kitchen with a Free Weekly Menu Plan Template. Use it to plan your next grocery shopping trip and quickly realize the benefits:

• Save Time – Once you have your menu laid out, last minute cooking decisions will be a thing of the past. Plus, it will be easy to make your grocery list, and you’ll save time shopping.
• Manage Meal Size – If controlling meal size is something that is important to you or your family, a menu plan can go a long way in building the right sized meal. Make your menu plan at a time when you’re not hungry, and when you go to the grocery store, stick with the plan. After a few weeks, you’ll find that healthier options for snacks and sides have made their way into your pantry.
• Save Money – Just like budgeting your monthly expenses will help you reach your savings goals, keeping a weekly menu and sticking to the grocery list will help control your meal costs. The USDA shows that the average family of four can spend almost $1,200 each month under a liberal plan. However, this is cut in half when a thrifty plan is followed.
