Check out: Healthy Snack Ideas. We eat alot of homemade crackers and cheese as well as protein bars. Those are the two main snacks at our house. Otherwise, we do apples and peanut butter, raisins & nuts, etc.

Thanks so much for this! Do you have a plan for snacks? If so I’d love to see what you have on hand for these!

Sundays are usually shared meal after church services, leftovers at home, or a quick family eat out.

I noticed you didn’t include your dinner plans for Sundays…what do you normally do those days??

I usually get produce every two weeks actually through a local produce co-op or farmer's market. I just do my bulk staple, some diary, and meat shopping once a month. For bananas, we just freeze them once they start fading and use them in smoothies the second half of the month. I can extend the life of a lot of my veggies and fruits by using green bags. I also work my weekly menu around what needs to be eaten right away. Zucchini and greens the first week and potatoes/squashes/root veggies the next because they can last longer. You get the idea.

But one question: How do you keep fresh produce in your diets if you only shop once every 3-4 weeks? I can’t keep salad greens for more than two weeks (tops!) without it getting slimy. Bananas turn brown, pineapples get brownish and soury-sweet. You get the idea. I’d love any input!

Thanks for sharing your menu plan details and your linked info on the monthly menu plans. I’ve been thinking I need to move from weekly to monthly planning to cut down on my grocery trips. I can so easily OVERspend when I’m at the store. Going less, will mean spending less.
