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.
