This is the  week of bringing you these awesome budget friendly meal planning for all of you Meijer Shoppers. You can find more Meijer Meal Planning ideas HERE 

For this week, using the Favado App and our Meijer Matchups posted here on A Mitten Full Of Savings, I’ve been able to come up with a whole week’s worth of dinners that will cost you less than $50, along with a few things from your pantry!   You can also print out my FREE Meal Planning printables that will help you plan and organize your meals each week! (this is always super helpful for me!!)

• This is based off of a family of 4-5- so you will need to adjust it accordingly for a bigger or smaller family.
• All items are on sale or part of the lower Meijer price. If you don’t have the pantry items, then you will need to add those into your final price. (sale dates )

The sales are good this week at Meijer, and they are taking us on a round the world culinary tour!  From Curry Roasted Chicken to Italian Pork Loin to Cuban Country Ribs, these meals will leave your family with smiles on their faces.  Check them out below!
