I'm opposite of a lot of people in the way I plan our meals. Typically, instead of planning meals before I go shopping, I shop and then create meals based on what I have. The food that was on sale. The meat I got marked down. This works best for us and saves us more money.

 

For instance: Last week I scored Boneless Chicken Thighs for $2.20/pound marked down at Walmart. We ate a lot of chicken this week. And very exciting: I found Ground Chicken marked down to $1.64/pound - a great price-per-pound for meat! I bought five pounds and turned them all into these Chicken Cheeseballs. We ate some this week and I froze some for a effortless meal another time.
