My name is Rach and I am a WAHM to 4 kids, plus a day care provider to a few more. I decided to start this blog mostly to be accountable to myself, and also to hear suggestions from my (hopefully many :-) ) readers. I love reading meal planning blogs & tips, and I am trying to inspire myself to go beyond reading them and actually implimenting meal planning in my every day life.
I find for myself Frugal & Fast are often in contrast to each other. The cheapest meals often take the longest time to prepare. Not necessarily in actual prep or cooking time, but often you need to think and plan ahead. For example, it doesn't take a lot of physical time to prepare dried beans, but you need to decide you are going to have beans more than 5 minutes before serving them! In my meal planning, I try to find the balance between fast, easy to prepare food, and keeping frugal and within a budget. Not every meal will be both, most will be only one, but I will strive to fine the balance weekly & monthly.

Love the concept! I can definitely use some frugal tips that are also fast. I know you haven't *officially* launched yet, but I can't wait to see what you've got!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the vote of confidence (yes, I see this comment is a month old, LOL. I have to figure out how to get google to e-mail me comments). I hope to start this week or next week. I am noting my ideas in my planner, just have to get time to make them all happen!
