An Affordable 10 Day Grocery Haul and Meal Plan | Cycle 1

10 day meal plan for under $100 The cypress table

I’m so excited to start sharing our grocery hauls and meal plans with you guys!

It has taken me a little while to get this going because I was afraid of sharing it with you before it was “perfect”. It’s still not perfect, and it’s not going to ever be perfect! This is real life, y’all!

Meal planning and grocery budgeting used to be SO intimidating to me. I remember searching on Pinterest for weekday meals when I was a new wife and just trying to find anything that looked good and doable in 20 minutes!

It was really easy to blow a grocery budget buying ingredients I would only use once on meals that were NO good.

Finally, 5 years into this life of being a wife and a mom, I know what works for us!

I recently explained how I budget for our family of 4 in terms of grocery shopping. So, if you’re interested in how we keep a tight budget, check it out!

My meal planning and grocery shopping routine is also something I explained just last week! If you’re wondering how to save food, save time and save money, read all about how I do it here!

Here is our grocery haul for October 21-October 31.

10 day meal plan and grocery haul for less than $100.

For this cycle, I came in WELL under budget! Yay!

The total for our breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks for the next 10 days was $96.61.

It is one of the most satisfying feelings to me whenever I see my total being under the $100 mark!
