Free Weekly Meal Plan (with grocery list)

On a typical Sunday I spend a couple hours meal prepping lunches and planning our meals for the week or longer. I create the weekly meal plan and a shopping list for those meals and go to the grocery store usually on Monday or Tuesday. The free weekly meal plan with grocery list takes some time but it’s so worth it. I save time during the week not having to figure out what to cook, not worrying about thawing out meat in time, or going to make something and not having some of the ingredients. This also keeps any foods going to waste because I’m only buying what I need.

When we do our large Costco runs for meat restock, I use those meats to base the meal ideas off of. Ex. when we have 3 flank steaks, I’ll freeze them separately and look up flank steak dinner ideas while planning. Pretty simple right? So I figured, if I’m already putting in the time and work, why not share it with all of you! Save you the time and effort of coming up with what to cook and what to buy. You can read my post about pantry essentials and how to organize your kitchen to get you started. Then whenever you need some recipe ideas or a week of meal plans come on back here and enjoy your Free Weekly Meal Plan with grocery list.
