Plan Once, Shop Smarter: The Monthly Meal Planning Workbook

Oct 15, 2026
Why plan dinner one week at a time when your rent, insurance, and car payment all run monthly? In this episode, I talk about the Monthly Meal Planning Workbook, a book I wrote to help you plan once, shop smarter, and eat well all month. I cover the four parts of the system (inventory, meal planning, the big shop, and the perishables list), how it cuts impulse buying and food waste, and the weekly dinner rhythm that keeps my own house on track. When I switched to monthly planning, I saved about $50 a month almost immediately. Full disclosure: I am the author of this book and creator of the companion course. The paperback is currently 30% off at the IngramSpark shop: https://shop.ingramspark.com/b/084?params=TFKTOMzVSy4htl0rXmji8lUNzMdPovHYOkDJ7QULuuv Full review: https://the-good-plate.com/review/monthly-meal-planner-workbook-review/ #MonthlyMealPlanning #MealPlanning #MealPlanningWorkbook #BudgetMeals #GroceryBudget #ShopSmarter #ReduceFoodWaste #FixedIncome #MealPrep #TheGoodPlate Visit us at The Good Plate (https://the-good-plate.com) for ingredient amounts, detailed instructions, photos, tips, and more.
