This is the week 7/23 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 on 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 )
Meals from Meijer are easy and won’t break the bank this week! Check out these six mouth watering meals!
Meal 1: Italian Chicken with Fresh Green Beans $4.72

Cover with foil and bake in a 375°F oven for 1 ½ hours. Remove the foil and bake an additional ½ hour or until the juices run clear when cut near the thigh joint. Remove from the oven and let rest, covered, for 15 minutes. In a saute pan, heat the butter to melting over medium high heat.
