Another crazy week has come and gone, and now it’s time for our weekly meal plan again. If you’re new here, you can take a peek at our first meal plan post to learn all about it.
Mostly, we like to plan our meals so that we can save money and live frugally. We pick 7 recipes to make each week, listing all their ingredients and highlighting what we don’t have on hand. Then when we’re all done, we write a new list of everything we don’t have and then we’re all set to go grocery shopping!

This week’s grocery was particularly larger usual because we are finally getting everything in order in the new place and restocking the kitchen!
