If you would like to spend less time in the kitchen or drive-thru, and save a boat load of money (even without using coupons!), then it’s time to start making more than one meal at a time, with more going in the freezer for later.

With these Easy Recipes for this Make Ahead Freezer Meal Quick Start Menu Plan, we teach you how and make it EASY!

I have been working with Robin from NeatNestOrganizingnow.com to bring you an entire Make Ahead Freezer meal plan of Wegmans Recipes and shopping list so that you can buy and make 20 Meals for under $150! 

Even though we shopped at Wegmans, this meal plan will work for any store.  Keep in mind that prices vary per store, so yours may be a bit different depending on sales and coupons.  Also, this meal plan is based on a family of four people.

Here is what you will get in your PDF file:
