How to try this new and interesting meal plan strategy

Hi Reader, Have you ever heard of connected meal planning before? It's the idea that your meals don't stand alone. They're not independent of each other, but rather dependent - connected - by using the same ingredients. In connected meal planning, you PLAN to use the same ingredient in at least two meals. This technique saves you both money and time. Money - You can buy one vegetable that's in-season and on-sale, and use it for multiple meals. Or you can buy one or two meats at a good price and use them for the whole week (instead of different meats every night and paying more than you need to). Time - You actually spend less time in the kitchen, and your cooking/prep time each week is streamlined. Connected meal planning was KEY to getting our grocery budget under control, so I wanted to share a few of my favorite connected meal ideas that help stretch your pennies every week!
