How the month works

One trip a week. No waste.

Shop once a week

One list, one store trip. Every item is priced and every week comes in under $50.

Prep on Sunday

About 15 minutes: thaw the meat in the fridge and chop a few vegetables. Each week says what.

Cook in order

Some nights make extra on purpose: Tuesday's drumsticks become Wednesday's creamy pasta.

Carry the rest forward

Friday's leftovers start the next week, so the potatoes, rice, eggs and salsa all get used.

Questions

What exactly do I get?

A 33-page PDF: four weekly shopping lists with prices, 20 recipes with photos, a Sunday prep plan and a night-by-night order for each week, the month at a glance and a kitchen basics page with safe cooking temperatures.

Is week 1 the free plan?

Yes. Week 1 is The $50 Week, so the month starts with the plan you may already have. Weeks 2 to 4 are new, and each one starts with what's left from the week before.

Where do the prices come from?

Walmart, checked October 26 and 27, 2026. Your store and the date can move the totals a little either way.

How big are the portions?

Every dinner serves 4. Oil, salt, pepper, soy sauce and garlic powder come from your pantry and are not in the totals.

How do I get it?

Right after checkout the download button appears on the screen, and the link arrives by email from [email protected]. The link works for 30 days, so save the PDF to your phone or computer.

Can I print it?

Yes. It's Letter size, and every shopping list has tick boxes.
