    Meal planning is the best, the grocery list was twice as small as what we would normally come home with just hitting the store for the week. Lots of fruits, veggies and protein purchased!!!

    It's surprisingly a lot easier to turn off the water while brushing than I thought - what did I even have it running for in the first place!?!
