Here’s how we organize our recipes, make meal planning easy so I can shop sales, and save money by not wasting food.
It really boils down to three keys for us: having an easy access space for our recipes in a quick access binder, freezing foods we won’t eat right away and having ready to go meals in the freezer, and doing a bi-monthly fridge cleanout.

How do you save on food and plan your meals? Would love to hear what you are doing at your house!
love this! I used binders for warranties . One stays at home if we move and one comes with us if we were to move! I got idea from Alejandra tv as well.
I am not a good cook but I am trying. My daughter is so picky and she’s 15! Where do you get your recipes? I’ve used allrecipes.com. I do make my pancakes from scratch! Love your videos. They get right to the point and not too long!
Pinterest and family recipes are my go-tos!!! 🙂
Hi Kathryn, I love your YouTube channel! I’ve used a couple of your tips and they help tremendously. I Have a question: have you ever made a video of a no grocery shopping for a month or on a small budget? I’m sure the meal prep and recipe binder/organizer helps. I’m wondering since I’m on a very tight budget myself. Thanks!
HafAloha Kathryn!
I love watching your youtube channel. You are so helpful 🙂
TFS,
