Enjoy this August meal plan with a printable calendar and easy, family-friendly recipes.

School is within a couple of weeks of starting again. Summer seems to be flying by! We’re gearing up to have 4 kids in 3 different schools, so we’re knee deep in school supply shopping. And figuring out who needs new shoes. And scheduling hair cuts before school pictures. Figuring out how many payments I need to make to schools for yearbooks, laptop insurance, lunch money and clubs. It’s a semi-expensive time of year.

We’ve had plenty of fun this summer and plenty of downtime too. We’re lucky to live near my Aunt whose condo association has a private pool. We’ve visited many times this summer. And, on any given day, there can be anywhere from 1 to 5 neighbor kids over!

I shared last month about how I’ve really been working on cleaning out the pantry and freezer. I’m doing great! I shaved a couple hundred dollars off our grocery bill the last couple of months. That can’t last forever – but I have been able to access places in the freezer that haven’t been seen in quite a while!

A menu plan will help us continue to eat from the freezer and pantry. And to make smart use of my grocery dollars. Plan with me! Whether you use this one or one you make yourself, a menu plan will bring you more peace in the kitchen. Want a menu plan that’s even more simple than this one? AND includes a shopping list? Try this one: ‘Incredibly Easy 5-Ingredient Meal Plan and Cookbook’ available on Amazon!
