Please Note: I post my weekly menu to encourage menu planning and to give meal ideas, not as a nutritional standard. You should feed your family based on your priorities and values. You may not be able to replicate this exact menu for $125 because sales vary by region and you will have different items on hand, but you can save money just by using a menu.

Just came across your page from Pinterest and love it! Read off this menu to my husband and we’re going to try it. Thank you for sharing.
Wish you would print up your grocery shopping list. (what you buy) It would make shopping a whole lot easier
You can see my shopping for this particular week here and click here for a listing of all my shopping trips. The issue with giving you a grocery list is that you will have different sales in your area than I do, so what I can get for $125 will be different than what you can get. I also have items in my fridge, pantry and freezer that I purchased on sale in previous weeks so my menu is not made up of just what I bought that particular week. You can read my FREE ebook: Save More Clip Less here to see all of my saving strategies, and you can sign up here with eMeals to get a weekly menu based on your local store’s sales.
