We lowered our food bill drastically just by having a meal plan. It was so easy to start with 6 meals my family loves and adding a few more favorites each week. It was also less stressful to know exactly what to prepare as I walked through the door.
We've bumped it up a bit by making extra quantities which will be modified as part of another meal. For example if I make mashed potatoes on Sunday, the 3 extra will turn into potato pancakes on Tuesday. Rice on Friday can be Shipwreck, Sheppard's Pie or Rice pudding by noon Saturday.
