This is the sixth week of bringing you these awesome budget friendly meal planning for all of you Meijer Shoppers. I’m still working and tweaking this system, so if you have any feedback, please let me know! You can find more Meijer Meal Planning ideas HERE (including the Non- GF Meals 7 meals under $60 for this week!)

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!

• 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 9/14-9/20)
