May Challenge: Household Binder (All About the Food)

Welcome to the 3rd part of my household binder... Last week, I showed y'all the progress I had made to the finances section of my household binder (you can check out my intro post here and my finances post here). This week, it is all about the food; how I store my coupons, the printables I use each week, and all of the extra info that is going in this section of my binder. I never realized how much thought went into food until now...

For this section, I used two pocket dividers.

• 1 - extra dinner plans and grocery lists
• 1 - coupon pouch and menus

pocket divider #1, which will hold extra grocery lists and dinner plans...

The extras...

A look at my current week's dinner plan. This is a crazy week with graduation, my sister's wedding shower, and a wedding, so that is why Friday and Saturday are not filled in yet.

A photo of the grocery list document in my binder. Once I start meal planning for next week, this sheet will be filled with grocery store items. Sorry the photo is a little dark. I tried to get a picture with natural light and it just didn't work with the shiny clear sheet protector.

A photo of the actual document that I created in Microsoft Excel.

I plan on having one of these sheets laminated. But for now, I just made several copies to use throughout the year.

The last sheet that goes in this section is the staple foods sheet that I plan on laminating and using every time I create a grocery list. I got the idea from Jen at iheartorganizing.

Once I complete the list (or, what I consider complete), I plan on laminating mine as well. I just started the list last month, so I am sure some necessities will pop up in the next few months.

And, the last pocket divider in this section contains my coupon pouch and take-out menus. I only have one menu at the moment because I need updated ones. The ones I had were super old.

Next week, I plan on sharing some personal additions to the binder. Stay tuned!!!
