I can't make all the lunches ahead of time because our fridge can't accommodate that many at one time ha ha! But I do always make the lunches the day before and whenever I cut up fruit and veggies I cut them up for the whole week and store them in big freezer bags.

I hate getting all excited about a Pinterest recipe only to find out I have NONE of the ingredients. And she's great about letting you know what recipes freeze well. It's great to cook once & have a few frozen portions for later. Especially helpful when I'm away for the weekend & do not have time to shop. Frozen portions buy me a few days of time before I have to head to the store.<br /><br />Great post, we plan similarly, but always neat to see how others do it!<br /><br />I usually do my main shopping @ Aldi, and fill the gaps with a run to TJs or Giant Eagle if needed.Jessie Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11217522564709638588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-298679531196459259.post-86480872120358611192015-11-18T06:07:33.972-08:002015-11-18T06:07:33.972-08:00I used to be so on it with meal prep especially du...I used to be so on it with meal prep especially during/after the whole30 because you have to cook or prepare everything you eat! I would go to the grocery on Saturday and come home and prep by washing/chopping my veggies and cooking a lot for upcoming lunches and dinners. It saved me so much time!
