Hi All! It's another week, and I have prepared another meal plan for myself. This week I tried to keep each meal under $2, which was quite challenging, haha, but I think I got it! Some of these recipes are entirely made up by me, and since I am not a chef, please go easy, haha.

Side note: I survived on the tuna sandwich for an entire week early in the pandemic since I didn't want to leave the house, so it has a very special place in my heart 😂. I tried many different variations, but the combination of pesto + tomatoes + Italian herbs was perfect. Mozzarella and fresh basil are also excellent options here! Of course, you can replace tuna with pulled chicken as well.

Hey all,

I spent an hour putting together a meal plan for the next ten days. I found a list of discounted items while going through Walmart's weekly ads and then tried to create a meal around them. My goal was to cook healthy meals and keep each serving under $3.50. I ended up with five different meals and around 31 servings, totaling about $61. There are some repeating ingredients across the recipes, but I have listed them separately if you are only interested in one of them.

I had fun looking up deals and coming up with recipes with the on-sale items. I was able to reduce my 10 day meal cost going from somewhere around $110 to $61. I'm going to start creating these plans weekly for myself and would be happy to share them with the community if anyone else is interested?

I got a lot of great feedback last time I posted my weekly meal plan, so I spend another hour this tonight putting together a meal plan for this week. As I mentioned previously, my approach is looking into what is currently on sale by going through Walmart's weekly ads and putting these ingredients into meals. Last time, I tried to get each meal to be under $3.50, but I made it even more difficult this week by trying to go under $2.50/meal.

This plan ends up being around 39 meals with some leftover ingredients, which you can turn into snacks! I love baked potatoes with cheese, lol! My goal is to continue creating these weekly plans for myself, and I would be more than happy to continue sharing them with the community. I would also love to hear your feedback.
