What’s for supper this week?
How about 5 supper meals for a family of 4 for under around $25? That is my goal when creating these meals plans each week. The goal is to inspire you to find frugal and filling options for your family. You may spend a little more or a little less, but these are guidelines and inspiration for a frugal family meal plan.
This is not necessarily what my family is having for meals, it is simply a list of budget-friendly options based on the sales this week in local Atlantic Canadian grocery stores.
