Organised: My Favourite Word!

I am such a planner.  I love to be organised, or at least feel like I am organised.

I have been slowly adding recipes to my Menu Planner app for my iPad and I have been testing it out this week. So far, I have only planned our dinners, but doing this has really helped me mentally as it feels as though there is one less thing that I need to worry about.

When I did the groceries the other day, it was fantastic, as I took my iPad with me, opened up the app and everything I needed was there in a list for me.  The only thing I need to do is set which aisles the products are in as this will save even more time.  I can even add in the prices of the product so that I an get an idea of what our next grocery shop will cost - I love this kind of stuff!

I was able to tick off each item as I put it into the trolley, and as I had already culled the list with what I had in the pantry or in the garden, it made my shopping list much more compact and easy to work through. 

Sure, there were a few things that were added to my trolley that weren't on the list, but this is normal, and I will be adding these items into the app so that we can have a complete list of grocery items (it allows you to add in the nonfood items too!)

I have also emailed the meal plan to B, and he has access to the recipes for the plans online, so it makes it much easier to be able to have everything ready to go.

I am kind of looking forward to planning next weeks meals and going shopping for them again.  Only this time I think I will be trying to make note of what aisles the products are in to make it much easier later on down the track.
