A small amount of advanced planning on a consistent basis can save many busy home managers hours of time, a ton of frustration, and a fist full of dollars.  Many full time home managers are excellent in the meal-planning department.  A few home managers with jobs outside the home handle this task effortlessly also.  Most of us fail miserably.  Have you ever wondered why the pizza delivery business is so successful?  It’s to bail out the home managers who did not do any advanced planning.
	Advanced planning is not planning tonight’s dinner as you drive home from work,   Read More...
