This is one board that I couldn't live without: my grocery list and menu plan board. I asked my dear husband to put it up as soon as we move to our new place.
On the top, I wrote down the grocery places and what to buy from there. I write down what to buy as soon as I realized we ran out of that item that way I won't forget. Before I go grocery shopping, I would take a picture of the board with my phone then I am off to the market with my "grocery list".
At the bottom, I wrote down our menu plan/ what to cook right after we went home from the market that way I know that we already have all the ingredients at hands to cook certain meals.
I prefer listing down weekly menu instead of daily menu because this allow some flexibility for our family members to choose what to eat as long as it's in the list.
