I share my 2 week meal plan and also share with you my meal planning process. As a working mom, I try to make it as simple as possible since time is of the essence. In order to meal plan on a budget, its great to shop sales and create your meal plan around items you already have in your freezer and/or pantry.
How do you guys meal plan?

Hi! WELCOME! Thanks for stopping by! My name is Jia. Hubby’s name is Charles. Our little ones are Zara (4) and Ava (1). On my channel, you will find everything from working mom tips, organizing all of my cluttered spaces, Costco hauls and budgeting (my passion). I hope to inspire and encourage.

Adorbs! Adorbs! ADORBS! All of you! Love the videos. Please keep 'em coming!
Just started meal planning. This video was very helpful. Thanks!
Cute baby cameos!!
Thank you :)
wow this was great info. going to check out the other videos. I generally do once a week as if I buy 2 weeks of groceries people eat what's for meals. lol So I actually get ideas as well but only make a list of general things. like chicken or meat etc. I go to store where I find the deals because I show food lion which discount their meats and fresh product daily. I do make a list of essentials but my sales flyer and online app are how I determine what things are being bought. it has saved me over a hundred dollars each week and I feed our family of 5 meals for lunch and dinner and always breakfast during weekends for about a hundred dollars. that's including snacks which we don't buy an extensive amount. We also buy stock for our pantry each week so about 20 is toward stock
oh I'm sorry and you as well. and I am a new subbie
Yes please on meal prep video for the busy work week:) so after watching your amazing video on the Sonic Care toothbrush system and the pork jerky I went to Costco before the sale ended and picked up those goodies. LOVED them omg. My husband and love those toothbrushes because it feel's like a dental cleaning. The pork jerky tastes like my Christmas ham lol just yummy. Keep the great reviews coming :)
Enjoyed the contributions from the supporting cast! : )
They are adorable :) I fall off the wagon with meal planning but with school coming up soon and activities, I have to. Also, we do lower carb, so I really need to find things that the kids can just grab vs grabbing something not so healthy.
Yes! With school starting meal planning is must for me.
enjoyed this I am about ready to do some meal planning here.
Perfect. Thank you.
aww there so cute
love your girls....so adorable :)
The girls are so beautiful
Totally distracted by the cuties behind you lol! New subbie btw x
Great video! Your girls are so cute! Can't wait to see how you prep everything.
Your girls are adorable!! :) New subscriber here! Howdy!
Welcome! Thanks for watching!
Your babies are SO adorable!!! Their smiles brightened my day!
Thank you :)
Hi Jia! You are such a blessing to me! I love waiting your videos. I'm going to start meal planning I just downloaded your template. I'm tired if looking like a deer in the headlights when I'm asked "what's for dinner " 😳😂 keep the videos coming! God bless you and your family ! 😘
Thank you so much Elaine! Many blessings to you and your family!
New subscriber! Also a working mom of two young girls - looking forward to more videos! Love, love the cameos of your cuties!! ☺️
I like the way you plan your meals. I am just stuck, but your video helped me. Thank you.
I'm all over the place with meal planning some times its two weeks then other times monthly. Biweekly is easier on my body. Meal prep and freezer cooking for a month wipes me out.
Love watching her daughters saying hello to everybody! Too cute!
I will have to check out that publix app! My boyfriend always says that he will move north as Publix moves north lol
Thank you loving the videos 😉👍 I do every 2 week meal plans !
your kids are soooo cute
So crazy watching this video 5 years later & seeing how big your girls have grown! You're so blessed, mama. 💗
😘😘😘
Love your channel ❤️ you have helped me so much. Thank you
Great video! Your girls are too cute :)
Hi Jia. I meal plan every 2 weeks. It makes things a lot easier. Keep your meal plans coming.
I meal plan too! I love your meal plans, grocery hauls, and your little ones are adorable! Keep up the good work!!!
I like your meal planning you make it much easier than others, but do you only plan for dinner or do you also do lunch?
I tend to do a weekly meal plan enough for one person. But I am trying to start a budget for less than $80 for a month worth of groceries. I live in a dorm room with a very small mini fridge and the food in the freezer is only suppose to be good for one week. So that's the only downside to my living situation for now.
I just decided to try meal planning. I think I will enjoy thinking ahead and having a plan of what my family will eat. Thank you for the spreadsheets.
I like the idea of a kids meal plan. thanks for sharing
THANK YOU for being so real about getting off a routine when everything gets super wacky outside the home. I watch videos like this to help ME get inspired and back on one.
I do the same thing when it comes to the Publix app. Love their bogo and digital coupons. Yes, it's key to shop smart when it comes to Publix. These are some great tips. TFS!!!!
So glad I found this!
Also I looooooooove Publix. I want to write a sonnet to express my love for Publix. They have great coupon policies and customer service.
Me too girl!
Thanks! You're awesome. I'm going to start night classes soon and we are a very busy family of 5. Thanks for all your tips. I'm looking forward to more. What snacks from Costco last a little longer to you?
do you do this for breakfast and lunch? or snacks for the kiddos? or just prep without putting it down on the spreadsheet?
These are AWESOME ideas. I will try this asap!
Hi Gia my friend! I always come back to this video when I fall of the meal planning wagon! Thanks Ghurl🤗
I totally agree I shop on Subday & right after I prep naked weekend night so much easier! I'm team two week meal plan lol
You're so right! No, need for a binder when everything is online! I keep it simple too easy life😊
Oh my! I love your girls! So, so cute!
+ksnyder31 Thank you :)
Great video, thanks! I meal plan and shop once a week. 😃
Thanks for sharing how you plan. With school starting back soon I really need to do this.
New subscriber. You had me at Tuesdays are bible study or Chick-Fil-A. Looking forward to exploring your channel. Love the idea of linking pins directly to the meal plan. Thanks for that idea! Never done that one before.
Thanks for watching Dena!
This is a great idea! We typically have leftovers for our lunches so we wouldn't use them for another dinner, though sometimes we have things like lasagna, which I don't like as a lunchtime meal. I just got into the habit of shopping my freezer/pantry and it really made a difference. I'm now generally aware of everything we have going on.
Just a little tech thing that may help you... for your days so you don't need to worry about multiple lines. (And feel free to ignore me of course if you prefer your method!)
If you select rows 8-12 in column A (so this would be where you write Sunday's meals), while they are highlighted, on the Home tab on the top, click the Merge & Center button. Then right click on that row, Format Cells, Alignment, Text Control and make sure Wrap text is checked! I also like to do Text alignment Horizontal: Center and Vertical: Center so all of the text appears in the middle. Make sure to do those at the same time if that's what you want. Now you have one big box to write in. :) Now all of the text will flow on just that page and you don't have to worry about it skipping. Just repeat for all of the days! I hope this makes sense!
Oh you are a girl that speaks to my heart. #fellowexcellover
I do mine weekly, we are a family of 5. us, boy going to be 14, boy 10 and girl 7.
I do pay period to pay period. 15-30. 1-14. So about two weeks at a time.
Have to say you look lovely with your hair up and you have beautiful eyes😊 really enjoy your vlogs
I agree about Publix, the BOGOs are awesome. I usually do not buy regular priced things there, but you can't beat the BOGOs. And the subs. ;)
+Our Family Home Life (Meals, Hauls, DIY) hahaha....YES to the subs.
And funny, that Kielbasa recipe you showed, we made that last week and it is in my latest dinner video. My husband LOVED it, my son too. :)
+Our Family Home Life (Meals, Hauls, DIY) I filmed it too! Hahaha...I'll definitely check your video out.
i didn't get the notifications that you have new videos out!! I am so excited
Love your videos-thank you!! Can I please ask you: do you only shop twice a month at Publix? Or do you check their ad weekly for bogo deals, etc.? I am trying to start planning better, but hate to miss a deal there-haha! thanks for any insight! :)
I check the weekly ad every week. If its worth it I'll go, but most of the time I shop when I meal plan.
thanks for sharing how u plan. I don't do this. I have tried I'm really bad on been consistent. ...; ( I could try again. ...I enjoy your videos. I am new to your channel for the past week or so
+Mayra Redonda Try it! It saves do much time and money.
I'm new to Your you tub. I love your meal planning
I currently do weekly meal planning but have done monthly and bi-monthly. It just depends on how motivated I am. LOL. Your girls are too cute!! :)
+S Hartman Thank you :) They definitely keep me busy.
Thank you sooo much! I cook almost every
day, but basically fly by the seat of my pants!! I'm under the meal planning wagon lol! The kids menu is awesome and is a great idea...my son is picky!!! so I usually rotate ithe 11 items weekly that he will eat.
Your welcome! Thanks for watching!
You have inspired me to be really organized. It will help me save money and know what we are having for the week so there isn't that 5pm moment of "What's for dinner?". Your girls are so adorable!!
Awesome! Thanks for watching!
Thank you for showing and telling!
New to your channel :-) You made it seem much simpler than it is in my head. I typically give myself a headache when I think about meal planning. Two weeks at a time is actually realistic and reasonable. Thanks for sharing and your babies are adorable.
I completely understand! Just take it week by week. Thanks for watching!
Yes, I wanna play with playdoh sweetie.😊
The girls are so adorable. 😀
Thank you!
Hi, love your channel, you are so engaging!
I really like your glasses, what brand/where did you get them?
Thank you :) They are from Warby Parker.
I do something similar to your system but love your ideas and how you use Pinterest and links in your planner. Thanks for sharing!
Awesome! Thanks for watching!
This is awesome! Thanks for sharing!
Very inspiring for working and busy moms, love your channel. Thank you!
Thank you :)
I am trying to shop only every 10 days this month, I tried doing 2 week hauls but that didn't work. My thought is only shop 3 times instead of 4 but still only spend what I did in a week, for the 10 days. I love Publix bogos. I went to Aldis last week for the first but not sure I will keep going there.
+Myeverydaywifelife That's a good idea. I like Aldi's spaghetti sauce and stuff like sandwich baggies. Thanks for watching

I meal plan and shop once a week. Seems to be easier for me. I'm trying to stay out of the stores, but I have to work my way up to two weeks.
