Keep Favorite Recipes for Meal Planning 

Knowing which recipes are family favorites can be a big help the next time you're planning a meal.

Easy ways to keep track of recipes:

• Fill a recipe box. (Use purchased recipe cards or save more money by making your own out of scrap paper.)
• Write them in a notebook or clip them from magazines to put in the notebook.
• Print out your favorites and put them in a three-ring binder. Our recipes are printer-friendly!
• Add them to a document on your computer.

Look for recipes that use similar ingredients but have enough variety that you don't eat the same thing every night. Compile a final list of ingredients and take that with you to the store. Avoid straying from what you've planned to avoid unexpected costs.
