$25 Meal Plan – Oct 10/17

This week’s $25 Meal Plan went a little over budget and is built around a ham, eggs and great produce prices. These meal plans are suggestions for anyone trying to really cut costs, while keeping meals as “real food” and as unprocessed as possible. These are not my personal weekly meal plans, I will be sharing these in a separate post from now on. 

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, cashback 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! 

Our Family’s meal plan for the week will be posted shortly for the next flyer cycle, including our breakfast and lunch options. Keep an eye on the blog, or subscribe to my newsletter so you don’t miss them!

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.

  1. I love this “What Can You Buy For $25 Today” feature. You’re inspiring me to be a better shopper, take advantage of coupons/sales and to save money!

  2. Not sure if this is where I should post this but does anyone know why Coupgon closed down? I just found out after trying to download my coupons for the last few days..
