You can hear the audio version of this meal plan on my podcast at Lola’s Frugal Life Podcast, on Apple Podcast, and on many other platforms!

Welcome to my weekly meal plan! Each week I like to share the meal plan that I will be using for my family for the upcoming week. I do this because I think that having a meal plan is really important for many reasons. Some of those reasons include saving money, wasting less food, and having less stress when it comes time to figure out “what’s for dinner?”! I try to stick with a meal plan that is simple to make things a little easier during our busy weeks. I hope this can help you with some ideas of what you might want to make this week.

  • Monday – 01/08/24
    • For tonight I will be making turkey meatloaf. The recipe I have been making since my kids were little is the JENNIE-Os Best Ever Meatloaf. For side dishes, I will be making some boxed shells and cheese and some frozen vegetables.
  • Tuesday – 01/09/24
    • Every Tuesday, we do some type of Mexican theme meal. Tonight we are going to do Cheesy Chicken Nachos!
  • Wednesday – 01/10/24
    • Wednesday is seafood night most weeks. This week we are having Easy Shrimp Scampi. When the shrimp is done, I serve it with some cooked linguine to make a nice shrimp pasta meal.
  • Thursday – 01/11/24
    • Thursday we usually do some type of soup and grilled cheese, or breakfast for dinner. This is the night that I go food shopping, so I try to keep things simple. Tonight we will be having Slow Cooker Corn Chowder and grilled cheese. When dinner time comes, I just have to cook up some grilled cheese sandwiches, and dinner is done!
  • Friday – 01/12/24
    • Tonight we will be having hamburgers for dinner. I make these every other Friday. I just make simple patties with ground beef. For sides, we will be having a can of baked beans and Oven Fresh Seasoned Potato Wedges.
