preview

You are here: $125 Grocery List for 2 Weeks of Dinners for FourNeed meal planning inspiration on a budget? This $125 grocery list has all you need for two weeks of easy dinners for a family of four.I’m trying to share at least one meal plan a month here on the blog and today’s the day! (See last month’s meal plan and grocery list here!)In the past I’ve shared a lot of complete meal plans that include breakfast, lunch, and dinner. If you’re interested in those I’ve linked to some of them at the end of this post. However,&nbsp;this particular meal plan is just for dinners (complete with sides.)The cost of the groceries for this meal plan came out to just under $125 for two-weeks of family dinners.Feel free to follow this meal plan as is or tweak it to make it work well for your family!As with all my grocery lists that I share,&nbsp;I’ve tried to include pretty much everything that you’ll need to buy&nbsp;with the exception of really basic things (for example flour, spices, basic condiments, etc.)You’ll notice that two of the dinners on this $125 family meal plan are on the menu both weeks.&nbsp;I just make enough for two meals the first week and freeze half for the following week – yay for saving time the second week!It’s also important to remember that while I always include the most recent grocery prices for my area they are obviously subject to change.I love that this BBQ chicken recipe is made in the crockpot! Double the recipe and save half for the following week.This recipe makes a lot! Divide it into two 8×8 pans and freeze one for the following week.This is a meatless meal, but quite filling and delicious!This is such a great recipe because it’s easy to throw together yet looks like it was a lot of work which is always a win!This recipe is a family favorite that you’ve probably seen me share before.Sometimes nothing hits the spot like a good taco salad (or “taco stackup” as my family called it growing up.) I don’t make one big salad but let everyone serve themselves so it can be customized according to each person’s preferences.I always plan to have leftovers one evening a week – don’t want to waste food! (Plus, mom needs a break!)I use russet potatoes instead of red potatoes in this recipe because it’s just simpler to use the same kind of potato for all the recipes in my meal plan that call for potatoes.This mac and cheese recipe from my mom is this week’s meatless meal. Half this recipe and bake in an 8×8.The recipe calls for turkey, but I use chicken instead.Another old family favorite.If you’re looking for even more meal ideas, you can also check out my big list of 75 frugal + favorite family dinner ideas here.Note: The grocery prices on this $125 grocery list are from my local Walmart unless otherwise noted.
