FREE Meal Plan Printables & Two Weeks of Meals

Is one of your goals for 2015 to stay on a budget? It’s one of mine and I’ve found the easiest way to stay on track is by meal planning. I like to plan ahead for two weeks for a few resasons. One- It gives us more variety when it comes to dinner choices. And two, and the biggest reason, it keeps me out of the stores. If I only go shopping once every two weeks I’m only half as likely to buy all those extras that somehow found their way into the cart. I had the luxury yesterday of going grocery shopping by myself and it was such a nice little break. AND I was able to stay under budget without little hands grabbing every sweet treat they could reach.

Another thing I like to do before I got to the store is plan out about how much I’m going to spend. I know what our monthly budget is for food and I break that up into four trips; two to the grocery store and two to Costco. I have a pretty good idea about what things cost so as I’m planning my meals and making my list I add things up and have a close guess to what the trip will cost. For this trip I budgeted $75 and spent a little under $74; not too bad for two weeks worth of food. Check out what we’ll be eating the next two weeks below.

Breakfast:

Eggs & Toast

Oatmeal

Pancakes

Cereal

Lunch:

Hot Pockets

Corndogs

Chicken Nuggets

Grilled Cheese Sandwiches

Quesadillas

Leftovers

Snacks:

Smoothies

Fruit

Popcorn

Fruit Snacks

Pretzels

Nachos

Dinner:

Burgers with fries and zucchini

Cranberry chicken with rice and green beans

Brown sugar glazed pork chops with fries and carrots

Southwest chicken salad

Tortellini and spinach soup

One pot tomato basil pasta

Honey sesame chicken with rice and carrots

Asian lemon chicken tenders with fries and zucchini

Tortellini bean soup

(Baked) fried chicken with mashed potatoes and zucchini

I’m trying out several new recipes I’ve been putting together over the last few weeks so you’ll be seeing a lot of this list on the blog the next few weeks.
