Yummy Family Meal Plan for less than $100 at Walmart (Week #13)
This week is part classic dishes and part comfort foods. I love trying new meals out but other times I want just tried and tested items that are easy to make!
This week’s menu includes breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks, and a sweet treat for a Family of Four. Our goal is to come out to under $100, and this one came out to $93.97 at the Super Walmart in Santa Clara, CA.
We use a lot of basics and pantry foods, so it is very possible to get this grocery list even lower! We try to include everything you would possibly need to make this menu, so make sure to shop your cabinets and freezer first.
Meal Plan
Grocery List
Just in case you are not super familiar with all these items on the grocery list, I have included some visuals.
Daily Layout
You don’t have to make this meal plan in any particular order, but I know it is helpful to look at a daily breakdown. This should give you some ideas of how to pre-cook and prep in advance.
Where is Day 7?
My goal each and every week is to have little to no food waste. My Day 7 typically falls on a Saturday, so we make every effort possible to eat everything that is left in the fridge that needs to be used up.
This helps me not only reduce food waste but also to have a nice clean slate. Once the fridge is empty it is a great time to clean and wipe it down, so it is ready for the next round of groceries.
Free Print at Home PDF
Here is a totally free PDF that you can download or print, so you have a copy at home. Lots of people have been making their own menu binders, so they can look back at past plans and have the recipes in one spot. That is so cool!
