- Today I'm sharing HOW TO MEAL PLAN THE EASY WAY and my monthly meal plan for September. I'm sharing step-by-step how to meal plan for a month at a time and why it's so much easier for me than meal planning weekly. I'm also sharing an app that I've been using for a few months to help with meal planning. I hope this video is SO HELPFUL!!!! Let me know if you have any questions!
Love y'all!

@Giovanni Arturo It did the trick and I now got access to my account again. I am so happy!
Thank you so much you really help me out !
@Rodney Ty Glad I could help xD
I’m a bartender and have turned so many customers on to your channel, we have even watched a couple of your videos on the big screen there. You’ve got quite a fan club here in Wisconsin ✌🏼💗🐶
I have been doing this for years. My monthly meal planner is a little different as I do mine Sunday- chicken, Monday-Italian, Tuesday- leftovers, Wednesday-Seafood, Thursday-beef, Friday-pizza, Saturday- pork. It works good for us as its on the fridge so everyone knows what’s for dinner. I change it up some based on the season like summer for grilling and winter for more crockpot but I try to stick to the category for that day. Thank you for sharing ur ideas.
I am absolutely loving all the meal planning, grocery ideas and life / meal organization videos! Well done!!! ❤️
Girl seriously this was so helpful!! I dread meal planning but thoroughly enjoyed this video!!
Awe yay!!!! Thank you!!!
Thank you for sharing so openly and give us a perk of your great family life.
I watched a bunch of your older meal prep videos a few months back and switched to monthly planning. It has made such a difference for us. We’re easily sticking to our budget each week, and it’s lowered my stress level each night a ton. Thank you!
Awe yay!!!
Love this!! I’m so bad at meal planning, but this gave me a ton of ideas and a better approach!! Thanks Amy, you’re the best 🧡
Awe yay!!! Thanks so much Audrey!
Amy this is such a great video, so helpful! I’m 72 and live alone now and my meals are usually the simplest thing I can fix quick. Long ago I saw a video you did about your Home Binder. I set one up then but didn’t add meal planning. Today I will. You are an inspiration. I subscribed when you first started and look forward to each new video. Thank you
awe thank you so so much girl!!!! you're the sweetest!
Sweet Amy - Your old Texas grandma friend here. I am impressed at how wise you are at such a young age. You will never regret all you put into caring for your home and family. BTW, I have watched your hurricane cleaning video many times. It really gets me motivated. Many blessings to you and your family. You are a blessing!
Awe thank you so much Donna!!!!! 😘😘😘
I think about this meal planning every time I meal plan! It helps soo much
I love this video I've rewatched it. Also love the hair you are very thorough and visual not just talk but examples it helps thanks
This was so helpful!! I love the idea of doing a “category” and then picking a specific meal/recipe within that
Awe yay!!!! So glad it was helpful!!!
Thank you, this video is very helpfull. I struggle with meal planning every week. Am trying this method 🙌
I love how organized you are ! I also love all your planners and your home binder ! I got to get even more organized. 🤗
Haha thank you sweet Mel!!!
THANK YOU!! I’m just getting around to actually sit and watch this video!! This is so helpful!!!
Oh how I needed this video! My hubby works late and I have two VERY picky eaters.... thanks for the tips!
I just now found your video and account and I love it! I just had sinus surgery this past week so I’ve been looking for easy things I can do that don’t require lifting or a lot of movement and this is perfect timing!!
I love how all of you gals I watch are so organized! I don’t do meal plans as it is just for me. Great job, I enjoy watching.
Awe thank you so much!!!
Hi Barbara - I am 71 and live alone but I still meal plan. I want to eat low carb and no sugar. I use the plan to make my grocery list and order them on line. I think we can meal plan even if its just us. Blessings to you.
This video was very helpful. When I saw you meal planned for the month I was thinking how is this going to work but I continued watching and I really liked it. I usually plan for the week but this will be so much easier. I also use a binder for my meal plans and grocery lists. I liked the idea of a theme night. I'm going to be using that idea. Thank you so much for sharing with us!!
Great video. I just subscribed. I love meal planning it saves us so much money on groceries. I started my channel to help people save money & time & I think meal planning is key. I hope my channel grows as yours has. Great job! 👍
awe thanks girl!
What is your channel?
melissa skow Hi Melissa it’s called How Debbie Saves. I’d love for you to check it out. I hope you do & like it.
I am so glad you posted this, it is so helpful!
Awe yay!!!
I’m gonna try the meal planning for the month! I usually do it for the week!
Absolutely loved this. I have never seen it done like this nd it is by far the best way i have ever seen. Will definitely try this.
Awe thank you Amanda!!!
Great video Amy! So informative! I currently weekly meal plan. After hearing you speak about monthly meal planning, I might try fortnightly to start with. 😉
Awe thanks girl!!!
I loved this video!! It was so helpful to me and I got a lot of good ideas from watching, thanks for sharing!! I also can’t wait for the meal prep video for lunches, because I am the same way about eating the same thing all week!! I love that you cook “real life” dinners for your family, that are easy, affordable and just realistic!! So looking forward to the print out and getting more organized!! 🤩
awe yay!!! Thank you Caitlin!
Great video, and so realistic when it comes to the kids !
Loved these ideas!!!!!! Thank you so much for sharing them. And also about the app, I’ll try I out
yesss! love this! You had inspired me to meal plan for the month of September and so far it is SO stress free! Thank you so much!!
awe yay!!!
I can't believe all the things that I did not know about meal planning, apps, etc. Thank you so much for making this video, God Bless!!
This is something I've wanted to do for a long time! Your video was a super useful place to start - I love the idea of planning the week via a theme - that really helps my thought process because this has always felt so overwhelming! It also felt rigid - but I can appreciate the flexibility in your plan. Many thanks!
Awe thank you so so much!!!! I really hope it works for you girl!!!
great idea! Simplified and much less stressful..I always wondered how some people manage meal planning.
Yay!!! So glad it was helpful!!!
Thank you. I’ve literally needed this motivation and inspiration
awe thank you so much!!!
I will definitely trying this. Thanks for sharing!!
Love Monday’s.😊
Best meal pre video I’ve ever seen!
Thankyou this is very helpful. I have been wanting to do this for awhile cus sometimes you just get into a rut of tired of eating the same thing. Plus be easier to do groceries etc..
Love seeing a different way to meal plan than what I usually do. I took notes 😉 Thanks Amy!! ❤️
awe yay!!! haha!!!
I for sure have to try this and then stick to it! I tend to “plan” meals and then not follow through. I’m usually so organized, but meal planning has never been my best quality.
Haha I get it!!!
Thank you so much for the inspiration and motivation to meal plan! I need to do this this morning. I love your channel! ❤️
awe thank you girl!!!
just started working out again after losing myself for a bit so thank you for this video! love them all
awe thank you Anna!!!!
Super helpful! Monthly planning has always intimidated me, but I'm going to try it this time. Thank you for sharing!
Awe yay!!!
Thank you this video just saved my insanity over meal prepping I'm so grateful right now ❤️
Watched video again. Wanted to give planning a mth @ a time a shot, it's working & love it!! (tyfs), God bless always.
Love these types of videos!! So can’t wait to watch it!!
Awe thanks girl!!!
Hey Amy 😊 I love the way you explain things in your videos great job as always! I work in the healthcare field and I work am,pm and overnight shifts and it's always changing lol I've been doing the monthly menu for years now and it's amazing not only do you not have to come up with something for dinner but it also helps for over buying and using up things before they go bad. My 3 kids are now all older teens 16,17,19 but we did the same when they were younger about trying things if they didn't like it they didn't ever have to eat it again. Great idea with the favs I always just gave a sandwich option if they didn't like dinner but love your idea! We are also a left over family as I'm not always home to cook and my teens have their own busy schedule. Thanks again for sharing and have a blessed day ❤
Thank you for sharing girl!!! And yes! I definitely use up more food this way too!
Thank you so much for providing with the planning sheets
I plan meals on Sunday for the week and go food shopping on Mondays.. I am going to have to try it this way!
Love video! Great ideas! I love meal prepping and meal planning. I’ve slacked off some, and this video really motivated me again. Thank you! 👍😊
awe thanks so much girl!
Thank you for this! I despise meal planning and everything that comes along with it. But this plan is totally 💯 attainable 👍🏻 🙏🏻 😊
I think making a list of your family’s favorite foods is so simple and smart! I think we all have so much going on in our heads that sometimes just being able to see it in front of us allows us to throw that meal down for nights when we have games, practices and other activities! And Caycen’s face when you guys were eating pizza 😂
Totally agree!!! 😍😍😍
Great explanation of monthly meal planning! I started weekly meal planning but it became a chore to get it done. I have been using monthly meal plans since December, life saver for me!!
I make a new Pinterest board for each month and add my Pinterest pins for recipes I want to use for that month to that board.
I also mark on my calendar where I can find my recipe ( P=Pinterest, M= Mealthy or cook book name) in each day.
oh that is SO STINKIN SMART!!!!! I LOVE THAT!!! and may have to steal those ideas :)
This was seriously a great video girl!! I’m terrible at meal planning I ALWAYS say I’m going to! Thanks for sharing 💜 I can’t wait to try this!!!
Awe thank you!!!
Lol! Girl my husband was sitting next to me as I watched this. I kept saying,” Hey I do that!!” Love how you meal plan! Have you thought about a video once a month showcasing a recipe or a few and a peek of that month’s plan? Such good inspiration! Thanks! 🙏🙏🙏
That’s such a great idea!!! I was planning to film on Friday a “spend the day with me” style video and I will be sharing my meal plan for October in that video for sure, but it will go up on Thursday next week
Just what I was looking for! This is awesome!! I’ll definitely be subscribing. Thank you!!
I’ve been waiting for this video! Thank you so much! Definitely needed this; trying to get better at budgeting my money 😅
yay!!! you're the sweetest!!!!
Guuurrrl this is what I needed in my life. I’m heading back to work next month after mat leave and need some organization in my life. Plus I just watched your pantry organization video and yaaass.
awe yay!!!! Thanks so much girl!
Loved it! You go on doing what works for your family & don't even think about someone not liking that you do dessert every night! Wish I would have thought of that when I was raising kids! You have such great ideas! 💜
Awe thanks so much Dawn!!!
Great vid! Thanks for the tips.
Great ideas!! I am a pretty religious weekly meal planner but have never thought about doing it monthly. I'm going to give it a try!!
Yay!!!!
That's a fun breakfast meal sheet. Breakfast is so easy and quick so we only try to meal plan for dinner and usually have the same thing for lunch or have leftovers for lunch. Very helpful planning.
Same here girl!
Thanks for this video! We need to start meal planning again! It will be great to help budget and to actually have a plan and not guess what to make for supper!!!!
Haha yes! It helps us save some money for sure!!!
I love it! Thanks for posting it!!
Thank you for sharing the printable
Great info! Thanks for sharing. Yay for desserts!!! I'm a fan.😀
Haha thanks girl!
This was very helpful. I have tried different ways and I didn’t stick to it. So maybe planning for a whole month is not a bad idea. I’ll definitely try it. Thanks Amy!!!
thanks girl! let me know if you like it!
You make this look so easy!! 😊 And all your dinners you showed looked delicious!!! 😋
Thanks girl!!!
Love the simplicity of this. :)
Loved this so much!!

I’m definitely going to give this a try. Planning meals is such a headache for me. Can’t wait to see if this helps!
Awe yay!!!! You’ll have to let me know!
Love this!
Very great tip to look at the calendar of events before planning a particular meal 💡 I’ve made the mistake of planning a certain meal that I didn’t have the time to make and it’s disappointing because I’ve had to make something quicker on a whim, which stresses me out
I love meal planning! Love this video
awe thanks so much Michele!
Yay can’t wait to see how you can help me I struggle with this all the time!!
Awe I hope you love it!
Amy Darley I will let you know how it goes!!!
Thanks bunches 💐💐💐 for sharing your tips and ideas, love how your precious brain works. Very encouraging especially for an old Salt like me. Stay continually daily blessed and always remember to enjoy the daily blessed journey. 👍🏻👍🏻💜🤗❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻👵🏼
You’re too sweet!!!
I need that crockpot recipe of that photo you posted around 5:00 that looked amazing! Can’t wait to try this monthly meal plan. Since watching your videos I’ve started meal planning in general.
Awe yay!!! And I’ll have to find the recipe!
I'm am single and this video is great. I stock my fridge like I have a family, because I like to eat at home. Single people do get tired of eating out. I'm lacking in the variety department. I'm going to download the yummy app and I already have a Pinterest account, so I should be finding some new meal ideas. Thank you Amy!!! I think your parenting is Awesome!
Awe thanks so much girl!!!
This video was very helpful. I’ve meal planned for 2 weeks. I’m also going to download that app.
I’m so glad it was helpful!!!
So many good tips!!
Thank you!!!
I really struggle with meal planning. My picky eater is my husband and it makes cooking more of a chore than an enjoyment. 🙄 Anyway, great video! It was very helpful! You make it look easy and doable. I’m going to give meal planning another chance! Oh, I also love the yumly suggestion. I’ve had it on my phone for a very long time but have never used it. Thanks for the encouragement!
Awe thank you so much girl!!!! I’m so glad it was motivating!
Great advice!
Great video! I thought it was thorough, informative, and helpful. I'm not really sure why there are any dislikes! Thanks for sharing. ❤
Thank you so much girl!!!
Love it Good one keep it up
Thanks Amy for sharing, loved the video
