It took me an hour this afternoon to plan and write out my grocery list for this next week (the kids were making a disaster of the kitchen floor with playdoh, but it gave me the time to "plan").
I have found that by planning my menu's I actually save a lot of money. My grocery list always looks awfully long, but I seem to spend less then I would by "flying by the seat of my pants!" We are huge snackers at our house, so it is hard to not have tons of snacks awaiting our hungry hands, but that's where it starts to get spendy! This way, it allows us to actually have a good dinner almost every evening, and possibly get healthier in the process.
