This episode is about how to decide what to eat before it’s time to eat. Why discuss meal planning on this podcast? Because it can help us be less wasteful with food, better manage where our money is going, and be less spontaneous when spending money on food. Gary and Christy start out by talking through some obstacles to meal planning. Things like preconceived notions or the number of options we have can get in the way of effective meal planning. Then, they go through how meal planning works in their house, which may give you a few ideas on what can work in yours.
