Tomorrow is the day I do my errands, shopping, basically run myself ragged outside the home. And Elijah gets his stitches out, hooray!

That makes today my menu and shopping list planning day. Normally I would dread it, but after all the hard work I have been doing to create my Menu Binder it is really a breeze. If you look in July's archived posts, and scroll way down, you can read how I made my Menu Binder. Anyway I just took out the shopping list from my binder for the menu I chose, and copied it on my all-in-one machine, enlarging it to fit an 8-1/2 x 11 sheet of paper. I had made a master shopping list of all non-food items that we regularly buy and put the master in my Home Management Binder. So I reloaded my sheet with the copied shopping list on it into the machine and copied the other list onto the back, (oops I forgot to add pet food to it, I had better fix that). Now all I have to do is take a highlighter and highlight the items that we actually need. So simple, and super quick.

This binder is going to really be a blessing!
