Great meal plan! Making a detailed meal plan like this is a great way to save money groceries shopping each week. Not only does it help ensure you don’t waste food it also help you not buy unnecessary extras. Here are some more of my secrets on saving money groceries shopping: http://www.freebiefindingmom.com/save-money-groceries-shopping-secrets-revealed/

Oh how I miss the land of double coupons!
Amie says
Great job. I really wish I had a store around that would double coupons. I will be making one more trip to Kroger before the Mega Event ends. I’ll grab a few boxes of Barbara’s cereal. I’m not sure if you have it or not, but I have a $0.20 ibotta rebate on any cereal. I’ll also need more milk for the upcoming week, but I will price match at Walmart. I went over budget the last two weeks so I cashed in some rewards programs for $20 in Walmart gift cards. This should cover my milk and produce needs and help me even out the month. 🙂
Charity says
Your menu looks delicious! I’d like to know how you prepare your chicken drumsticks. I see those marked down often, but don’t really know what to do with them. Thanks! 🙂
Jackie says
Don’t forget about the rebate for the larabar on Saving Star.
Becky says
Great job 🙂 I can’t seem to reduce my grocery budget from $125 per week. There are 3 of us, one 14 yo teenage boy. Especially during the summer, I babysit 2 and sometimes 3 grand-kids, 14, 11, & 9.

What’s your family’s initial impression on the Zaycon chicken breasts you got a few weeks ago? I’m thinking of ordering some of their ground beef but only if it’s actually good quality. Thanks!
Crystal Paine says
Brigette was the one who got the Zaycon meat and she posted an update here: https://moneysavingmom.com/2015/06/brigettes-66-weekly-grocery-trip-and-menu-plan-for-6.html
Tracy S. says
Thanks, Crystal! Hope you’re enjoying your day. I’m about to go look for some skirts at Target since I am also kid-free for the day. 😉
Crystal Paine says
I just picked up my two a little while ago. Worked like a charm!
Tracy S. says
Just got mine a couple of hours ago! I wouldn’t have known about it if it weren’t for you and your awesome team! Thanks!
PS My hubby thanks you, too. He’s enjoying me in more skirts and saving money on them is a huge bonus. Lol
