Keeping it Budget Friendly;
January Week 3 Meal Plan
January Meal Plan Week 3 is here and this week I’m keeping it Budget friendly. As we started to return to our normal routines at work and school, I needed to get back into Meal Planning. We were coming to the end of what seemed like endless amounts of sweet and savoury treats, but I realized, I have a LOT of food in the house. LIKE A LOT!
Using the stock pile
As I scanned the pantry and freezer and fridges (yes, I have 2), I decided I wanted to do a self imposed Meal Planning Budget challenge. This would help me work through the stockpile AND save me money at the grocery store. Who doesn’t want to reduce their grocery bill? Ummmm… not me. While I didn’t set a goal for how much I wanted to save, I did decide I would use the stockpile as inspiration for what I would cook until the end of January.
Meal Planning Inspiration
Staying on track can sometimes be a challenge. Meal Planning has so many things that affect it. Work schedules, school schedules, extra curricular activities, dietary restrictions and of course what’s in the stockpile. Then you add in all the great looking and sounding recipes on Pinterest and suddenly it’s all just overwhelming. That’s where these weekly Meal Plans help.
Weekly Meal Planning help
Every week in 2020 I’ll be sharing my families Meal Plan for the week, along with a Facebook Live event to show you how I get some of it done. I’ll also share a soup or a snack or some lunch meal prep too. I normally commit 2 hours on a Sunday to make the rest of the week that much smoother. It’s not always pretty, I sometimes run late or change the menu, but it’s always fun, and we always eat well. Join me.
