Citrus Circus Menu Planner

I've been known to plan meals in my head, only to promptly forget them when I reach the grocery store - or even worse, to jot down shopping lists on scraps of paper, napkins, receipts, etc. Let's just say it's not the most organized approach to meal planning.

That's why I absolutely adore the Citrus Circus Menu Planner from Scribbles n Such. First off, the planner is an 8-1/2" x 11" pad of paper with 50 pages - a huge improvement over tiny notepads, in my estimation.

Secondly, the left side of each page is the menu planner (pre-filled with the days of the week), while the right side is designated for a shopping list. Ready for the best part? The shopping list is perforated, so when you're done with your week's planning, you can tear off the list and head to the store. Genius!

Besides being incredibly helpful in organizing and planning, this planner is just plain cute to look at! I love the cheerful "citrus" yellow and the hand-lettered look. In a word, the Citrus Circus Menu Planner is fantastic - a worthwhile kitchen tool for anyone who cooks.

Scribbles n Such offers other products to match this planner, plus they have some nifty reusable shopping totes that will hold a lot of groceries.
