Meal Plans

Meal plans are a necessary part of groceries on the cheap.  They save time and money.  This week, I am going to do a different set of meal plans with the emphasis on the cheap.   People that got their snap money in January for  January and February and don’t know for sure yet when they are going to get March, may need some inspiration.

• Pizza.  Crust cost .19 and cheese is a bit over two dollars a pound at Costco.   Cost for a cheese pizza is a dollar. 
• Potato soup.  Cost for four servings is less than a dollar. A package of turkey bacon is at the dollar tree and a good topping.   Or make croutons from bread ends,
• Chicken and rice enchiladas.  Use homemade green enchilada sauce. 
• Pancakes, turkey bacon, sliced oranges,   Oranges were .78 a pound, bacon is at the DT,  
• Chicken noodle soup , cheezy biscuits - or use leftover rice and make it chicken rice, soup. 
• Baked potato bar 
• Chili, cornbread 

Notes : 

1. Make chili before the baked potato bar.  Chilli makes a good topping . 
2. Chicken enchaladas and chicken soup can share one batch of chicken,   
3. Potato soup is loaded  with veggies,  cheezy biscuits are fast and add cheese to the protein.
