13 Must-Read Books about Meal Planning
I’m meal planning now, but know that I could be doing a better job at it. Like any new hobby I start, I want to research as much as I can about it and learn how to do it properly. One of the big motivations for me is to save money and I know that planning out your meals for the week ahead does just that. We don’t eat out as often because I already know what I’m making for supper that night. I’m also shopping more efficiently and buying only the items I need for that week’s meals. Most times, I already have everything I need in my pantry because I stock up when there is a sale.
One great way to start learning about meal planning (or really any subject for that matter) is books. Another plus about meal planning is that many of the books are on Kindle and very affordable. You can start purchase them and get instant access. I’ve read How to Meal Plan by Crystal VanTassel already and plan to check out a few others on this list of 13 must-read books about meal planning.
