And while I do have items listed on each day that week, I still reflect each day on what was done, what wasn’t, what was added to my list, and I adjust my days according to that. Something that I do in regards to my blog, which I believe could be implemented for anyone doing weekly meal planning/grocery shopping, is my recipe plann
