Are you trying to figure out how to start family meal planning? I get it, it can be super tricky!
Lot’s of opinions on what should be on the table which not only makes things complicated, but can also make your grocery bill quickly add up by the HUNDREDS!
No seriously! If you don’t do your family meal planning carefully you could easily add on a couple hundred dollars every month!
The good news is that you can still feed your family flavorful recipes, that are crowd pleasing, and still keep your grocery budget super low!
Our family of five only spends about $400 a month on food! We used to spend over $1,000 when it was just hubby and I!
In this month’s family meal plan I am giving you all the yummy meals I’m feeding my picky eaters on a small budget!
Are you a meal planning nerd like I am?
Okay maybe I really appreciate it a little too much…
But I mean, meal planning is one small habit, uniquely the way I do it, that has helped our family cut our food spending from $1,000 when it was just hubby and I, down to only $400 a month for our family of 5!
That’s $600 SAVED each month, which equals $7,200 a year saved!!!
You might be thinking, “Hold on! Are you serious?”
Yup! You read it right and I am 100% serious! I’ve tracked down the numbers and you know what they say, “The numbers don’t lie!”
That’s why I LOVE sharing my monthly meal plans with you and I have June’s meal plan ready…

How’s it going Pearl? Are you and your family doing okay during this crazy time?
Our family is doing pretty good! It’s a huge bummer the weather is warming up here in San Diego and all our normal go-to spring activities aren’t really available right now.
BUT we are looking for the good and finding other things to have fun. Like starting our garden! It’s been super fun! What have you been up to?
Anyways… ready for this month’s meal plan? I’m SUPER EXCITED because I worked hard to find some super healthy meals that not only fit into the Whole 30 plan hubby and I are doing this month (sometimes a few minor adjustments might be needed), but I think our kids are going to love! For the most part…

Thanksgiving is next week! Or depending on when you read this I guess that could be different. But for us here in this moment, it’s next week! How would it feel to know that someone already has the most mouth-watering Thanksgiving meal plan all ready for you?
What if someone not only had the meal plan ready for you, but also had a grocery list that will keep your grocery grand total UNDER $50 for the entire Thanksgiving dinner!?!
Yeah that would be nice! Let me know if you find someone doing that please!
Just kidding!
You came to the right place! In this post I am going to show you how to plan, shop, and host an amazing Thanksgiving dinner for under $50!
You’re motivated! You have your entire month’s worth of whole 30 meal plan ready for your family. This is going to be awesome! You’re family is going to be SO HEALTHY!
And then you sit down for the first meal and reality sets in. None of your kids will even try dinner…
Holy frustrating! Right?
In this month’s whole 30 meal plan I made sure to choose not only budget friendly meals, but are recipes that either your family will love as is or are easily adaptable to accommodate any picky eaters.
