Have You Ever

Have you ever decided you simply do not have time to write a meal plan? Well believe it or not I wrote one and did not do the shopping according to the plan. What did this result in? A mess at the end of the month. A bit of that and a bit of that and nothing that really went together to make a meal. So what I did this time was sit down and create a month of meals. I budgeted, created a meal we would all like, remembered birthday and holidays and I love my meal plan. So what I would like to know is do you all create meal plans?
