Meal Plan Monday – What to Make with What’s On Sale at Safeway through 4/19

meal plan image 4-17

Here is my meal plan of 5 meals for the week based on sales and deals at Safeway.  I have five people in my family – so I divided each meal total by 5 so you can see the cost per person.  Each of these five meals is under $5 per person per day with the average cost of $3.27 per person per day.  I definitely splurged this week because of the steak, but my kids LOVE steak, so when it’s on sale for under $5/lb. I just have to make it!

I am a firm believer in meal planning and feel that this is THE easiest way to save money on groceries.  Not only does it help you get dinner on the table faster, you are always prepared with ingredients on hand for your weekly meals, avoiding last minute trips to the store.  I also try to incorporate organic and natural ingredients where I can, but you can save a little more if this is not important to you.
