Budgeting, planning and grocery shopping is a great way to teach your kids about the “real world” so get your kids involved!
Decide which recipes you would like to cook for several meals.
Before going to the grocery store: check your fridge, check your schedule, ask your family what they'd like to eat.
Sort your grocery list according to type of food: produce, meat, dairy, and dry goods.
Buy produce that can be added to many different meals, so the leftovers from one recipe won't go to waste.
