Been meal prepping like crazy and it's been a game-changer for my expenses! I've been whipping up grilled chicken with roasted veggies and quinoa bowls too! Not only are these meals making me feel like a better version of myself health wise, but they're also saving me a ton of money. I didn't realize how much of a dent eating out was on my bank account until I compared my spending from April to May. I was spending $450 – $500 a month on restaurants in March and April but with some solid planning and meal prep in May and June, I've got it down to around $300 a month. That's almost 200 bucks saved in a month!
How did I not start this earlier?? I’m definitely still a newbie to meal prepping – anyone have any solid tips or recipes?

Amazing work!! Not sure if you’re doing this already, but I find using your ingredients multiple ways is super helpful to getting the most bang for your buck. Example, if I prep a salad for lunch and chicken for dinner, I could take the lettuce from my salad and leftover chicken to make a nice sandwich. This way you use up everything purchased but also give yourself some variety. Planning meals based on what’s in ur pantry is key!
Nice!! Do you have an air fryer? That’s my hack – lots of super fast cheap recipes for it
What app is that?
I hope you are using those savings to either pay down debt or invest in your future.
Please charge your phone!!! 😄
If you haven’t started doing this already, check the weekly sales flyers for the best deals! Bonus if it’s a store that offers digital coupons as well!
