Monthly Meal Plans

Easy Monthly Meal Plan for weekly and daily breakfast, snack, and dinner. All you need to do is print, add your sides and shop! |frugal living | saving money

Monthly Meal Plans

Welcome!  If you're new here, I think you'll find each monthly meal plan easy to follow AND easy to follow through with!  You can use these plans exactly as is, only adding side dishes, or you can switch it up to suit your family better.

 

In the monthly meal plans you'll find:

  • 3 separate monthly calendars- one for breakfast, one for snack, and one for dinner
  • A weekly menu to print out for your use (I hang mine on our fridge.)  This menu will have your daily breakfast, snack, and dinner plans for the entire week.
  • Recipe links for the recipes I'm using, so it's easier to gather the recipes and make your grocery list

Check out this FREE Grocery List Printable to help organize your grocery shopping!

Let me give you a rundown on how meals usually work for our family:

On Sundays, we get together with family after church, and I don’t have to cook! Yippee! So it’s a free day from lunch and snack, and we usually just have snacks, pizza, or leftovers for dinner so I get a day off from the kitchen.

We try to eat as much fresh fruit and veggies as possible and at every meal.  I usually buy produce from our grocer every week based on the weekly sales, and it’ll be easier on the ol’ wallet if you do the same.

We eat leftovers for lunch daily because I absolutely hate wasting food. If we don't have leftovers (which is rare), we usually just scrounge up a sandwich.

 

So, the meal plans below will be for breakfast, snack, and dinner, daily for the whole month!  All you have to do is print, add in your sides and veggies, and shop!
