Knock Knock What to Eat Pad Meal Planning Pad, 6 x 9-inches (Yellow)

I have been getting very serious about meal prepping. At 33 years old I finally figured out how much easier it makes my life and how much easier it is to be healthy. I used to just go to the store and aimlessly buy things that I thought sounded good. At dinner time I didn't really have a plan for what to do with it all. I know it sounds silly, but just coming up with a plan on Saturday or Sunday and then sticking with it helps so much.I bought this and it's partner pad "All out of". I have both pads side by side when I plan my meals. I have my list of regular meals that I do and then try to chose one or two new recipes a week to try. I plan those for nights that we don't have swimming or basketball obligations. I systematically go day by day, writing down what meal we're having and then checking off any additional ingredients I need for it. That way when I get to the store I'm not frantically looking on Pinterest for what I need or just guessing and not having the right stuff. This has helped save me a lot of money by not having a ton of extra stuff that gets wasted. I also have time to prep some of the stuff during the day while my oldest is in school and youngest is napping.I had originally been inspired to meal prep by a health blog I follow. It helped motivate me to start and then finding these pads that keep it all within sight and easy to use has helped a lot. I also love the side area for breakfasts, lunches and grab bag. It helps plan my daughters school lunches and snacks for the week. If she tries to pull the "there's nothing to eat" line with me I point her to the pad where she was able to choose healthy snacks for the week! Meal planning has changed my stress level and family meal time so much. I started about 3 weeks ago and can't believe I waited this long!

I have to admit - the first time I saw this I was like....I don't need that. I can write it out by hand or print my own or whatever. But then I just gave in and bought the darn thing because feelings. And no kidding, it has made my life so much easier. My husband even looks at it occasionally and says things like "we're having chicken something tomorrow? Can I pull it out of the freezer for you?". He's going to be really surprised at the end of the week when it's his day to cook. I don't know...the calendar thing says so. I don't make up the rules?

LOVE IT! I bought this as a gift for my boyfriend who is transitioning to being a vegan. He needs help planning meals so he doesn't get caught in the pit of "hangriness" and I wanted to give him a fun and easy way to do just that. The color is vibrant, the product was beautifully packaged and arrived fast. I immediately loved it upon arrival. He loved it the moment he saw it as well. I also love the fact that it has a magnet on the back. I did not realize that.The only change I would recommend to the manufacturers would be to give equal space to breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I suppose dinner is the most anticipated meal at the end of a long day, but it seems silly to have breakfast and lunch without any dates, you know? Just our two cents.

I have gone through four of these pads over the last four years and will be devastated if they are discontinued. The sections “Dinner/Breakfast/Lunches/Grab Bag” are perfect for planning the whole week. The giant magnet never slips so I keep the pad on the fridge for my family to review and help themselves to approved meals and snacks. I also never have to answer the eternal question: “What’s for dinner?” At the end of the week, I tear off the top page and use the back as a grocery list while I plan the next week. Folded in half, it’s the perfect size for ingredients from two stores. Also, it comes in my favorite color, yellow! Thanks Knock Knock for another quality product that is super FUNctional!

Now my wife can write "I don't care", "I don't know", "Whatever you want" and "I have no idea" in the order she wants them!!In all honesty though, even though those are her answers, meal planning has been much easier with this. Since I am the cook, I write what we are having for the week and it's not a guessing game when I get off work as to what to cook. It's on the list, so it also makes grocery shopping easier!

Extremely helpful with organizing week meals. I have ADHD (unmedicated due to some conflicting issues with medications) and have always struggled with staying organized, my memory, and just remaining on task. This so far has been a massive help. It makes it fun to find meals and allows me to place them in a list (which is always difficult for me. I can’t make organized lists to save my life. This puts it all in a nice neat organized system where I just have to fill in the blanks). I had a nice surprise with the magnet that came on the back of it (I may have missed it in the product description, but either way it was still a super nice surprise). I now have a well organized place for meal plans in a spot that’s in my face and unable to ignore. My only complaint is I don’t have more space for how big my handwriting is, but that’s my issue, not the products.

I love this pad! I have been looking for a reliable meal planning tool (because I hate meal planning) and this was the best/easiest solution I could find! A few of my favorite things include:>the strong magnet on the back of the pad;>sections for breakfast, lunch, and snacks;>the week is set up from Sunday to Saturday (this may seem minor, but I really like this!);>little boxes to check if dinner is "dine in", "dine out", or "takeout.">there are enough sheets that I will only have to buy one pad a year (which I will be doing in the future)>my pad is yellow, which is my favorite color

Before I had this pad I didn't know what to eat!?!!Luckily now I do.We try to stick to the four main food groups: candy, candy canes, candy corns, and syrup.

My daughter had this pad which she found a great help especially during the first lock down when some foods were hard to get. Mine stays on my fridge door with the magnet then every time I list my next weeks meals I keep the last one and have them under another magnet to give me ideas on what to eat. A great pad to have in your home, it will be used regularly.

This is really convenient, especially if you're new to meal planning. Personally I like that the main feature is the evening meal, as for me that is the meal that varies the most from day to day and that needs the most planning. It's great if you're busy as you can plan your meals on a Sunday night and then prep everything in advance, and it also helps to save money if you plan around cheap ingredients.

I produced my own weekly planner but thought I would try this, I found it annoying that the week starts on a Sunday, while it does list 7 days for the main meals, lunches and breakfasts only have 6 entry lines each

Love these note pads. Bit expensive but perfect for menu planning - everyone knows what they're getting and when. The super handy magnetic strip on the back sticks securely to the fridge door. This is my second pad - I wouldn't be without one now!!
