Love meal planning monthly for all the reasons you have said like saving mental energy and saves tons of money. I take a monthly inventory at the end of the previous month and make my plan based on what we have. That way I know what days I need what things so I don’t buy things we don’t need just because they sound good. I know I have to change the plan to incorporate those things I find at great deals or preserve them for the following month.

Love everything you said here. And yes, buying things just because they sound good!
