How Many Does it Feed?
This free weekly meal plan is just what you need to start your week. It provides five meals that will feed 4-6 (depending on whether you are feeding adults or kids), AND includes a shopping list! With fresh new ideas and easy-to-make recipes, having a weekly menu plan will be a lifesaver.
Why Should I Meal Plan?
If you haven’t tried planning your meals ahead of time, this will be a game-changer for you! Here’s why I swear by meal planning:
- Time Saver: No more 4:00 PM panic about dinner. With a menu plan, you know exactly what’s on the menu, what you need, and how long it takes to cook.
- Money Saver: Meal planning works wonders for your wallet. When you organize your weekly shopping list, you’ll easily spot opportunities to buy in bulk and creatively repurpose leftovers for future meals. It’s a clever approach that keeps more money in your pocket.
- Bye-Bye Takeout: When your dinners are planned ahead of time and groceries are stocked, you’re less likely to hit the drive-thru. Because you are cooking at home, it means more savings and healthier eating. Win-win!
Side Dishes for Dinner
My weekly meal plans always include a printable shopping list that is measured out and ready to go. It makes things so easy!
Storing Leftovers for Meal Planning
I only meal plan Monday-Friday because we sometimes have plans over the weekend, or I have leftovers that we can have to finish off the week! If you have leftovers, store them properly in an airtight container in your fridge.
