I also have a Pinterest Board for my $25 Meal Plans set up HERE. This includes previous meal plans and some recipe links.
Please comment, offer suggestions, ask questions and share recipes. This feature is to help people see it IS possible to eat well on a tight budget.
This weekly feature will have at least one meal plan for 4 to 5 supper meals that will feed a family of 4. Some weeks I will show 2 meal plans, but I may not be able to do that every week based on flyer sales.
Most of the items purchased will be flyer or in store sales, and I will try to incorporate coupons, cash back and points offers when I can.
Be sure to let me know if you are enjoying this weekly feature by commenting on the blog below. Your feedback is the best way to let me know I should keep doing something!
Keep an eye on the blog, or subscribe to my newsletter so you don’t miss these each week!
PLEASE NOTE: This is NOT an entire grocery order, and we do eat much more in the way of protein and veggies throughout the day/week. This feature is simple to show you what can be done with $25 and trying to keep it to real food, from scratch cooking.
Hi, ive been loving the 25$ meal planning. But i was curius what do you do for lunches and breakfast?? Ive judt started trying to meal plan on a budget and ive struggled with lunches a lot, sandwiches everyday get boring. Do you have any tips or what your family does?
Great post! I didn’t know you had all these on Pinterest so I’ll be saving them om a new bord from now on!
Here is an example of the meal plan my family uses: https://www.everythingunscripted.com/meal-plan-monday-january-15th/
You are so creative with $25! Gosh, I really need to work on meal planning like this!
Thanks. I use pinterest to help find recipes. Having a well stocked pantry and freezer help too. Using as much of what you have on hand as possible really helps as well!
