Meijer Meal Planning Week 9/14: 7 Gluten Free Meals Under $55
It’s a new shopping week at Meijer! Take a moment to subscribe to our Meijer only newsletter. Get all the deals delivered to your email daily!
This is the sixth week of bringing you these awesome budget friendly meal planning for all of you Meijer Shoppers and it’s all about Gluten Free Meals. I’m still working and tweaking this system, so if you have any feedback, please let me know! You can find more Meijer Meal Planning ideas HERE (including the Non- GF Meals 7 meals under $55 for this week!)
For this week, using the Favado App and our 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 $60, along with a few things from your pantry! We aren’t talking everything from a box either! These are pretty healthy meals, at a low Meijer price that will be pretty quick and easy to make any night of the week.
- This is based off of 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. (sale dates 9/14- 9/20)
It’s a bit of a lean week for gluten free foods, but the sales that Meijer does have this week are fabulous! It’s time to take advantage of the 10 for $10 deals and get those 11th items free!
