  • This meal plan includes breakfast, lunch, and dinner recipes! I spent about $50 and took advantage of as many sale items as possible.
    Some of these recipes take a little bit of time so it’s up to you if you’d like to spend a little more for the convenience of some ready-made substitutions.
    I highly recommend looking for the least expensive grocery store near you, like Walmart or Aldi. I currently shop at Aldi, as it’s the cheapest option near me, but be sure to compare prices before shopping by using the stores’ app and searching for the products you need.
    For the full grocery list and recipes, head on over to my blog:
    wholeandhappyliving.com/2023/...
    Here’s the meal planner I use for my shopping: a.co/d/f5Z15yy
    Dishes I made in this plan:
    Oven Roasted Whole Turkey
    Cranberry Sauce
    Mashed Potatoes
    Potato Pancakes
    Breakfast Sandwiches
    Thanksgiving Leftover Casserole
    Turkey Shepherd's Pie
    Turkey Pot Pie
    Turkey Pho Noodle Soup
    And a few others!
    More Recipes can be found on my blog and social media! linktr.ee/LauraLegge

    You are the most inventive meal planners on a budget. Some others are very repetitive, so I don't get new ideas. Also, you add tons of veg and items like tofu. As a vegan, it's very helpful to see what you come up with. Thanks for all the time and effort you put into your channel ❤

    If you put your aromatics in the microwave for a few mins before putting into the turkey cavity, it gives off more flavor into the bird. I do the same thing when I roast a chicken. Debi in Vicksburg, MS. 🥰🥰

    I grew up only having what we called shepherds pie after Christmas . My mum made it with leftover turkey . I believed it was called shepherds pie because of the shepherds who visited the stable at Christmas. I was shocked to find out that it had nothing to do with Christmas ,when I was 18 I still love turkey Christmas shepherds pie
