MEAL PLANNING

Weekly Meal Plan: July 22nd-28th

Summer time is always the most challenging when it comes to sticking to our weekly meal plan. Family visits, friends gather, and the beautiful weather makes us want to stay out of the house as much as possible. But even so we make our plan anyway and hope to stick to it at least somewhat so that we can keep saving money and eat good healthy meals.

Our meals for this week are a combination of last week’s meals and some other recipes we haven’t had the chance to try this month yet. If you have any suggestions on meals we should try to make, please let us know in the comments!

We spent a total of $78.37 this week! Max did buy some extra meat at Costco, although it’s not for this week’s meal plan. Regardless, we were still under budget and hope to be able to stick to these recipes for this week.
