Connecting Meal Planning and Saving Money

A friend once told me that she thought meal prepping was like planning to eat leftovers for 10 days straight! I can’t say she’s wrong, but meal planning can save you a lot of money!!  

When you plan your meals, you’re being intentional with your time and money.  You make a list, go to the store, and only purchase what you need. Every ingredient or item you buy has a purpose, just like every dollar in your budget.

You cut down on waste, and you don’t have to eat out because you have something ready at home. And you make healthier choices!  

It’s a healthy financial habit. If you want a healthy financial lifestyle, start our 30 Day Money Reset for free at crown.org/money.
