I plan our meals one week at a time. I make sure we have a variety of meals so we don't get bored with the same thing over and over. The meals are usually quick and simple. Quick because we are starving by the time I get home. and Simple because that is how the kids eat. One meal will be a chicken dish, one is pork, one is beef, one is meat free. Weekends are up in the air because every other weekend the children are at their father's. I make sure we have enough veggies and side dishes for the week as well. I write the meals on the calendar (but of course, they can change) and make my shopping list from that. I only go food shopping once a week. Well, actually, the groceries get delivered once a week. I love Peapod.
