Frugal & Flavorful: OMAD Weekly Meal Plan Using What’s On Hand!

Welcome back to another weekly meal plan! This week, I challenged myself to spend less than $50 on groceries, with each family member getting to pick just one item while the rest of our meals come from what we already have in our fridge, pantry, and freezer. I love doing this because it helps reduce waste, saves money, and ensures we’re using what we’ve already purchased.

This Week’s Meals

Here’s what’s on the menu this week:

Monday: Fend for Yourself Night
Everyone picks and makes what they want! I’ll help my 8-year-old, but options include mac and cheese, Spaghettios, cereal, salad, grilled cheese, avocado toast, and more. A low-effort way to kick off the week!

Tuesday: Breakfast for Dinner

  • Frozen pancakes
  • Homemade fruit sauce (Recipe Inspiration)
  • French toast sticks
  • Tots and sausage patties

Wednesday: Spicy Rigatoni Night

  • Spicy Rigatoni
  • Italian bread

Thursday: Jimmy John’s at Home

  • Deli-style sandwiches with favorite fixings
  • Chips, dip, and apples

ingredients to make subs at home

Friday: Naan Bread Pizza & Salad Bar

  • Top naan with sauce, cheese, and favorite toppings, then bake at 350°F until melty and delicious!
  • DIY salad bar with a variety of toppings

Saturday: Tacos, Enchiladas & Dips

  • No specific recipes this time, just assembling a delicious Tex-Mex feast from what’s on hand!

Sunday: Freezer Frenzy

  • Creating a buffet of meals using what’s still left in the freezer. A fun, no-waste way to end the week!

Bonus Treat: Raspberry Thumbprint Cookies

At some point this week, I’ll be baking a batch of Raspberry Thumbprint Cookies using freezer dough. A sweet little extra!

Where I Shop

I primarily shop at ALDI, but I also visit Walmart, Costco, and Trader Joe’s when needed. Keeping a mix of stores helps me find the best deals and variety. This week’s meal plan proves that you don’t need to spend a lot to create satisfying and delicious meals!

Recipes & Inspiration

Many of the recipes I use are saved on my Intermittent Fasting Foodie Pinterest. If you’re looking for meal inspiration, be sure to check it out!

Stay Tuned

Each week (or most 🙂), I update this blog with my meal plan and new ideas. If you try any of these meals or have your own favorite ways to use up pantry and freezer staples, I’d love to hear about it! Drop a comment below or connect with me on YouTube or Pinterest.

I have this drawer that I put mom’s snacks in. I have this drawer that I put mom’s snacks in.  It used to be a secret, but everyone knows about it now.  It’s just off limits - unless you’re me 😅  Today I added mini bags of gummy bears.  I love these things and now have roughly 54 of them 🥳. They’ll last me a very long time.
