How many can it feed?
This free weekly meal plan is just what you need to start your week right. It provides five meals, feeds 4-6 people (depending on whether you’re feeding adults or children), and includes a shopping list! With fresh ideas and easy-to-make recipes, having a weekly menu plan will be a lifesaver.
Why should I meal plan?
If you haven’t tried meal planning ahead, this will be a game changer for you! Here’s why I swear by meal planning:
- Save time: 4:00 PM No more panicking about dinner. With menu planning, you know exactly what’s on the menu, what you need, and how long it will take to cook.
- save money: Meal planning can do wonders for your wallet. As you organize your shopping list for the week, you’ll easily spot opportunities to buy in bulk and creatively repurpose leftovers into future meals. This is a smart way to keep more money in your pocket.
- Goodbye delivery: When you plan dinner ahead of time and stock up on groceries, you’re less likely to go to the drive-thru. Because you cook at home, it means more savings and healthier meals. Win-win!
Delicious desserts worth trying!
My weekly meal planning always includes a printable shopping list that is measured and ready to go. It makes things so easy!


Store leftovers for meal planning
I only plan meals Monday through Friday because we sometimes have plans over the weekend or I have leftovers that we have to finish during the week! If you do have leftovers, make sure you store them properly in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
