• 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 )

This week is another 10 for $10 week at Meijer and meals this week take advantage of that!  Check out the great recipes for this week.
