Okay, full honesty right here: I’ve gotten right into a rut in terms of meal planning. I really feel like I’ve simply not been impressed or motivated with cooking concepts. And we’ve been having plenty of the identical issues time and again.
So once I met up with Laurie from Passionate Penny Pincher every week in the past and she or he gave me a 5-Ingredient Meal Plan Field, I made a decision I’d simply attempt it for every week. I did a grocery pick-up order final week for the components and we ended up loving the recipes a lot that we’re utilizing Week 2 this week.
I like that the recipes are all deliberate for you, the grocery checklist is made for you, and the recipes that we tried had been so yummy! The truth is, each one beloved them — which not often occurs with new recipes! And the entire household was excited for me to attempt it once more for a second week!
The components for the recipes are a bit greater than I might usually spend (as a result of I normally base our menus upon what I’ve available and what’s on sale) however I’m having enjoyable getting inventive to see if I can work them into our grocery finances.
By the best way, in full transparency, the meal plan field is pricey and I most likely would have by no means bought it had Laurie not given me one. That mentioned, I see the worth in them now that I’ve used one for every week! (Laurie mentioned you could possibly use code MONEYSAVINGMOM to save lots of 15% off if you happen to had been considering of probably buying it.)
Right here’s every part I purchased at Kroger! My complete was $104.
I used to be tremendous enthusiastic about that deal on eggs!
There was additionally an awesome deal on pineapple — however there have been precisely two left, so I simply purchased one! 🙂
