If you don’t feel like putting together a menu this week, do not worry. I have you covered with Budget Meal Plan: Week 41.

Meal Planning on a Budget

Aunt Lou here.

Each week with the budget menus, I try to focus in on one money saving tip. That way you can use the recipes I have put together for your meals or have another tool at your disposal to make saving money easier with recipes you pick. Budget Meal Plan: Week 41 is no different. This week, we are going to focus on using rice, beans and vegetables in our meals. The reason this can save you money is that rice, beans and veggies, particularly canned veggies, are very filling but are generally more cost efficient than other ingredients. When everyone’s tummy is full of flavorful food they loved, and I haven’t spent a ton to make that happen, I consider that a win! As always, if any of the recipes in this menu do not suit the needs of you and/or those you are feeding, you can always search for alternative recipes that will work with our Recipe Finder.
