    I'm 18 and new to adulting, learning to cook for myself has been a lot easier when I plan ahead. this video is very helpful for someone like me who lives on notes.

    As someone with ADHD, meal planning has always been hard. I usually just buy what I'm in the mood for and end up wasting money. Your video has actually made it all click for me. I love that you broke it up into the smallest of steps. This is SO helpful. :)

    • @MooiMeissje

    My favorite part of this is "just keep the list" and after a while you'll have a nice stack and you can just easily reuse an entire list. (And all the work is done!)

    this week i was searching and asking in facebook groups how to plan my meals and i didnt find good enough answers. and today this video popped-up in my recommendations and i feel so lucky!!! this information is so useful for me because i felt so lost with my planing, all my fridge is full of groceries and i find it so hard to plan what to cook. thank you so much!!

    I like to get ideas from the ads of my grocery stores. The pictures help me visually to help me decide on what to eat. Coming it up from nothing is difficult.

  • @ultravioletpisces3666
    @ultravioletpisces3666 5 років тому +2

    Another thing is that you might want to note on special ingredients what you need it for. (In my case because I can see being tired of shopping and saying, oh I really don't need capers and then getting home and realizing that I needed them for a recipe I haven't tried yet)

  • @thestickitartstudio7374
    @thestickitartstudio7374 7 років тому +40

    Absolutely loved the video... most times when I click on a meal planning video, it never really covers the "how to" part and only the "why I meal plan" part. By far, the most informative meal planning video... thank you Jessica

    • @MrsMomNextDoor

  • @mandapandzz
    @mandapandzz 7 років тому +9

    Jessica, i cannot tell you how happy this video has made me! I have watched numerous UA-cam videos on meal planning alone and ideas on how to get organized to meal plan and I've tried the month calendar and listing the meals but then not knowing where to put the ingredients so I know what to get at the store. Every other idea i have tried and it hasn't felt right or just hasn't "clicked" obviously since i have not stuck with any of them... So I absolutely love your idea! I'm literally sitting here watching your videos at 12:30 in the morning too excited to actually go to sleep right now. I cannot wait to begin tomorrow morning and meal plan for this coming week and then grocery shop tomorrow for it as well. Thank you so much for making an end up video and explaining step by step with examples :-) and even though I don't have kids yet it's nice I can tweak this for myself and when I have guests over and for my family currently.

  • @PuddleOfSalad

  • @amjunio

    You're good at this. I have lived solo for three years and for so long I got used to eating in restaurants or cafeterias. It saved me the trouble of prepping however it proved to be really costly and unpredictable when it comes to budget. This is helpful. Thanks!
