Meal planning isn’t hard at all. Changing your behavior is hard. The actual act of meal planning is super simple. You just need someone to lead you in the right direction to do the right things, but most importantly, help you to be able to create a habit, not just a meal plan.

That is what we will do as long as you are ready…

I do believe you are since you are here right now.

You’re here because you are ready to stop throwing most of your money away on food, right?

You are fed up and want someone to show you how to actually win at this because you are tired of these days…

You know, the ones like this…

You get that text from your kid while you’re at work asking, “Mom, what’s for dinner?”. But you don’t have a clue. Hadn’t even thought about it.

But you will now.

So, now instead of focusing on work you have these thought rolling through your mind…

What do I even have at the house I can make dinner with?

Maybe some macaroni…

Hhhmmm, I wonder if I have enough cheese to fix macaroni?

What was the date on that milk? Is it spoiled? Oh well, I can use water.

Oh yeah, I have some chicken in the freezer. Oh wait, it’s in the freezer. Frozen.

Ah screw it! I will just stop at McDonald’s.

Then you shoot a text to your kid. “What do you want at McDs?”

Listen, I get it! I’ve played that same scene day in and day out.

We ate fast food so much we got sick of it.

It drained every dollar I had to the point of using credit cards. That is what not knowing what’s for dinner did for us.

I’m guessing since you are here then your story is not much different.

Well, you’ve come to the right place.

This is your beginning.

Free Meal Planning Mini Course

This is an absolutely free course with no strings attached.

The only thing I ask from you is to simply follow the steps. Your time, attention, and participation are all that is required.

The purpose of this course is to pull you out of that awful everyday cycle one step at a time, one day at a time.

This course is not a magic wand that will change your behaviors overnight. You’ve got to put in the work.

I can’t make the changes for you.

But what I can do is promise you if you follow this course there will be that day where there will be no stress when planning dinner. You will be able to save money for what that thing is you want or want to do. There WILL BE THAT DAY WHEN you just realize how easy your life has been over the last few months when it comes to dinnertime.

How do I know? Why am I so confident? Because I WAS YOU! I was so flippin’ stressed out over money, over figuring out what to get at the grocery store that I would actually use, over what to fix, and, heck, even over what fast food restaurant I was going to pull into next.

I tried many times before and was only left overwhelmed and quit. This is what worked. It will also work for you. It’s so simple that it can’t cannot work.

Again, I will make this promise. I promise you that if you follow the steps and complete each one to the best of your ability then at the end you will be in a better position to tackle that “What’s for Dinner?” question.

What Is Not in This Meal Planning Course

So that I’m not wasting your time or disappointing you in the end let me tell you what you are NOT going to find in this course.

  1. You will not find fancy foods. We keep it simple here.
  2. We will not be putting a huge focus on how to save money at the grocery store. Nope, not in this guide. We will mention savings apps and the sales page but most of the time just buying store brand is enough. This guide is meant for those who live paycheck to paycheck or even worse because they don’t know what to fix for dinner.  Learning just this one task will save you money without ever having to check to see what is on sale or worry about bulk buying. That stuff can come later if you wish to save more. For now, keeping meals simple will go a long way.
  3. You will not find meal prep ideas in this guide. I hate to be the one to break to you but as cool as meal prepping sounds it should not be a concern right now. You gotta take it one hop scotch at a time. This hop will be meal planning. Once you’ve mastered this then you can jump into meal prepping with both feet.  
  4. You will not be keeping a super broad stock of foods. In this guide we have  some staples and then only buy what we need. That’s it so if keeping a fully stocked fridge, freezer and pantry is your jam then you won’t be feeling the groove here.
