Thanks for the great tips! I am going to try and use Springpad now. I also tend to eat the same things all week, but am always interested in finding out new ideas. I am always striving to eat Cleaner every day.

I seem to eat a lot of the same things from week to week….so it’s not that challenging to shop!!
I do write a list though:)

I’m a big meal planner. I keep an updated list of what I have in stock and make meals that I can use mostly what I have and then just buy a few ingredients. WE have to stock the basics about once every few months.

I feel lost if I don’t plan out my meals. Basically on Thurs or Fri, I look through my kitchen first to see what I already have on hand and then look different cookbooks of mine to see what I can incorporate or what is something new I can try then put a list together for wknd shopping. I then look at my supermarket specials online, see if anything is on sale and if I have any coupons that could double and help save me money. I absolutely love your idea about Google Calendar though! And I am the same, it’s basically planning dinner b.c I bring leftovers to work 90% of the time.

And I so jealous of you with your sleep schedule. I wake up at 545A/6A for work and days where I get to sleep in until 630A is sleeping in for me

I do the same thing! I use Google Calendar tasks for my grocery list. I have a list that I change or update weekly. So many things I buy are repeated each week so it’s nice not having to go back and type them in. I also put in our meals using Google Calendar.
