Meal Planning

Hello Everyone

I was wondering if anyone else is having issues with making their dollar stretch from paycheck to paycheck? I used to meal plan weekly but then find by the middle of the following week and just before getting paid again I would wind up with not so desirable meals. So now I am experimenting with 2 week meal planning. So far it is a little challenging but I am getting better.

I am just wondering if anyone has some experience with 2 week meal planning and if they are willing to share some tips. Some things I can up with is adding vegetarian meals because most of the time meat is the highest expense. I have 3 main grocery store in my town so I shop the adds. I see what is on sale and try to plan my meals to what is on sale. If it is a really good deal I will buy 1 or 2 extra so I have it for a latter date. I do try to by my fresh veggies weekly though to make sure they last.

This is what I have come up with for the next to weeks:

🐔Parmesan Crusted Baked Chicken Tenders and mixed veggies for a side

🌮Beef Tacos

🐔Baked chicken breasts and roasted veggies

🫘Bean and cheese Quesadillas

🍝Spaghetti

🍜Chicken Stir Fry

🥔Baked Potato Bar

🐄Cheeseburger skillet

🍚Chicken & Rice Casserole

🌮Chicken Tacos
