Meijer Meal Planning Week 8/17: 7 Gluten Free Meals Under $70

I’m back with another meal planning week for Meijer! This is the second week of bringing you these awesome budget friendly meal planning for all of you Meijer Shoppers and it’s all about Gluten Free Meals. I’m still working and tweaking this system, so if you have any feedback, please let me know! I also posted the regular Meijer Meal plan for this week- 7 meals under $60 bucks.

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 $60, along with a few things from your pantry! We aren’t talking everything from a box either! These are pretty healthy meals, at a low Meijer price that will be pretty quick and easy to make any night of the week.

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 8/17-8/23)

REPIN it to save for later!

Meijer has some amazing deals this week. If you are gluten free, you can still save a lot of money! Here’s my pick for seven meals from Meijer for under $70, with the help of a couple of items from your pantry.
