Summer came early in Virginia this year, and I couldn’t be more excited about it! Other than Christmas, there are few things that bring me the same joy as a day at the pool in the summer sun and beach vacations! I’ve already started setting up our beach vacation meal plan.
I plan our meals and grocery list for our beach vacation in advance. Then, I match the items on the list to local sales. This helps keep us on budget for groceries and reduces the overall cost of vacations. After a few years, I’ve finally developed a meal plan and grocery list that works for our trips. I should disclose, we eat out for three meals each trip. We also keep leftovers from meals out and snack on those for lunches during the week.
I’m sharing my meal plan and grocery list today, to help make your summer vacation planning easier. Do you make a meal plan for vacation? Do you eat in or dine out when you’re away from home?
