Meijer Meal Planning Week 11/11: 6 Meals $35

It’s a new week of bringing you these awesome budget friendly meal planning for all of you Meijer Shoppers. 

For this week the Meijer Matchups posted here on A Mitten Full Of Savings, I’ve been able to come up with a whole week’s worth of dinners that will cost you less than $50, along with a few things from your pantry!   You can also print out my FREE Meal Planning printables that will help you plan and organize your meals each week! (this is always super helpful for me!!)

• This is based on a family of 4-5- so you will need to adjust it accordingly for a bigger or smaller family.
• All items are on sale or part of the lower Meijer price. If you don’t have the pantry items, then you will need to add those into your final price.

Meal 1: Roasted Chicken Breasts with Baked Potatoes and Vegetables  $7.05

• 3 lb boneless/skinless chicken breasts (half for next meal)
• Salt and pepper (pantry)
• 4 Russet potatoes, scrubbed and pierced

Directions:  place the chicken in a baking dish and season with salt and pepper.  Cover with foil and bake in a 400°F oven for 1 hour or until a thermometer placed in the thickest part of the breast reads 165°F.  Bake the potatoes on the oven as the same time as the chicken until a fork pierces the center of the potato easily. Steam or microwave the vegetables to desired doneness.  Reserve half of the chicken for the next meal.
