Hello Friends!

Well, here we are at year's end like no other. What a year it has been and I think we are all ready to say goodbye to 2020. Planning Budget Meals for the new year can be a little daunting.

Today I am sharing a January Menu Plan Template Printable that you can use to plan your weekly menu. In fact, there are three to choose from so you can change them up or use your favorite style. If you want to jot down a weekly meal plan, you can use our free weekly meal templates.

Grab these free meal planning printables and start the year more organized.

Budget Meal Menu Planning Tips

  • Plan your meal around your grocery store sales.
  • Know what vegetables and fruits are in season during the spring, summer, fall and winter so you can use them in recipes.
  • Freeze meats and meals when you get them at a really good price and use them later.
  • Consider ingredients that you can use more than once to avoid waste.
  • Incorporate leftovers with a new twist.
  • Make a recipe binder or an online folder for recipes you want to try.
  • Only save recipes that are really good. The ones that are not so good are not worth spending money trying to tweak them into something your family might like.

Hi, I'm Raquel! I am a self-proclaimed foodie and have enjoyed cooking and baking since I was little. I loved baking cookies with my mother and grandma as a child, and later making dinners for my parents to foster my passion while in high school. I also had a passion for organizing and keeping things tidy.
