Frugal Friday June 18 2026: Finally Meal Prep Time

Today is a holiday for many in the US, which means I have a three-day weekend. After delaying our quarterly meal prep for almost 6 months ( see my $350 grocery budget article), we are finally getting back to it.

While our delay was related to my wife’s surgery recovery, we’re actually excited to shop today because we found a food supply store that has better deals on meat than Sam’s Club. Meat is always the biggest expense on these meal preps. Next week, I hope to have a detailed breakdown with receipts to cover exactly how we follow our budget for a family of five.

This past week, though, I did save some money. We had picked strawberries, and I made a batch of homemade strawberry freezer jam.
