I thought I would share a few tips with you on how handle summer meal planning and NOT go broke!
Summer Meal Planning Tips
Make a Weekly Meal Plan – Plan out your week with all the meals you’ll make each day and any snacks. This will make creating your grocery list a whole lot easier! We created a FREE Printable Weekly Meal Planner for you that I keep on my refrigerator so we know what we’re having for breakfast, lunch and dinner every day of the week.
Print a few of the Weekly Meal Planners out and keep them on a clip board hanging in your pantry if you don’t have a spot on your fridge.
Keep Healthy Snacks On Hand – Instead of having chips and snacks with empty calories, keep bananas, string cheese and other filling snacks on hand for the kids. We go through a lot less snacks if I have options that fill you up more!
Make a Grocery Budget – Create a summer grocery budget and stick to it! A great way to do this is by using a prepaid card. I’m able to load the amount that I want to spend on groceries for the week and head out to the store, knowing that I cannot buy a bunch of things I don’t need because I have the correct amount in the card that I need for my grocery list. It’s so handy!

Let me tell you a little about the Walmart Moneycard® Reloadable Prepaid Visa® Card and the the Visa Clear Prepaid program. With the Visa Clear Prepaid program, there’s less stress in picking and using a prepaid card. I don’t know about you, but I often was overwhelmed with knowing which card to pick.
