Turn $70 into 26 Meals ($2.77 per serving) with our new Budget Menu Plan!
Save time AND money! Fully grocery list + prep guide included!
Meal Plan #5 is officially ready for you and it’s packed with delicious dinners that only cost about $70 at the grocery store TOTAL to make them ALL - that breaks down to approx. $2.77 per serving - and bonus that they are also absolutely delicious and easy (hello yummy Teriyaki Chicken + Noodles)! Let’s dive in!
Budget-Friendly Meal Plan
I don’t know about you, but our grocery bill just seems to keep rising! So, it feels like the right time to really look at key ingredients and design a meal plan that is not only affordable (under $70 for 5 dinners), but is also still delicious to eat. Because we aren’t compromising on taste!
*NOTE: the costs are based on midwest pricing and may vary by region or store*
Dairy-Free/Gluten-Free Options
These recipes are all gluten-free and dairy-free friendly - we always note when you can make a substitution!
Grocery List - 2 Ways!
Making 5 whole recipes in a week is a lot - but we like providing 5 different recipes for you to choose from (maybe one ends up being your Sunday night dinner?) - but then we provide 2 different grocery lists: 1) one list is for the entire week of recipes, if that works for you 2) another is broken down by recipe, so you can pick and choose which ones work best for you.
1 Super Easy Recipe
If you haven’t noticed, I generally like to include at least 1 “super easy” recipe to lighten the load during the week. In this meal plan, it is our Black Beans & Rice! You don’t need to cook a meat for protein and have the option to add any toppings you have on hand. Gotta love that!
