fb iconpinterest icontwitter iconlinkedin iconbuffer icon

Welcome back! If you followed Week 23’s plan, your freezer is stocked, your pantry is prepped, and you’re already ahead on this week’s meals. That’s the power of bulk buying with purpose.

This week, we’re keeping the grocery bill low by using what we already have—like chicken, rice, cheese, and eggs—while adding in seasonal produce (think fresh corn, zucchini, and crisp lettuce) and just a few essentials to round out the meals.

Here’s what you can expect in Week 24:

No repeat spending on pantry staples we already bought
Minimal prep with big flavor using what’s in your fridge
Zero-waste meals that repurpose leftovers and stretch your dollar
Fresh, light summer-friendly recipes your family will actually eat

Whether you’re brand new to this system or continuing from last week, Week 24 is designed to save money, save time, and build momentum for the rest of the month.

Let’s dig in.

Next week (Week 25), we’ll shift gears slightly—taking advantage of more seasonal produce and getting ready to prep a few freezer-friendly meals ahead of the 4th of July.

✅ You stayed on budget.
✅ You didn’t waste food.
✅ You didn’t sacrifice quality.
