Free Printable Meal Planners for Busy People
I am a diehard meal planner. I find it keeps me organized, knowing what to buy, and ultimately saves me money. My method is to keep a home binder, almost like a planner, and I print free printable meal planners off Pinterest. They are great for everyone! From stay at home moms to professionals, it will help you keep organized. Of course, if you are not even the print it out type of gal, even this won't work. There is still hope for you! You can get just about any type of meal planner from one you stick on the wall to meal planning notebooks. I've got the best of those for you here. I personally bought the chalkboard type so my family can see what I've already planned.
For the rest of us who want to save and print, I've compiled my favorite printables in hopes that they will help you as well. Check them out and let me know what worked for you. Let me know what worked for your family.

I think what I love about this one from Simply Happy Momma is how different it is.
Meal planning works for me. It keeps me within budget, I know what to cook, I know what to thaw, there are no excuses. I've actually printed several different ones in my binder to prevent boredom! Let me know what works for you and which you liked the best.
