What You’ll Find on Our Weekly Menu Plan




Recipes You’ll Love:  Our family-friendly recipes are simple and made with recognizable, real food ingredients. Pick and choose what works for you.



Top Weekly Sales:  Don’t waste time scouring the sales. We’ve done it for you! Our menu plan is based around the top real food (no junk!) sale items we find at Hy-Vee that week, so you can save money by shopping smartly. If you don’t have a Hy-Vee, no sweat. Our plan will still work great!



Stock Up and Save:  To save even more money, stock up on those hot Hy-Vee deals and store them for later using our instructions.



Freezer-Friendly Recipes: We’ve flagged freezer-friendly recipes ( * ) that include freezing instructions. Pick 1 or 2 of these recipes per week to double (doesn’t take much more time at all) and then enjoy one for dinner and throw one in the freezer for later. This is a super smart meal prep hack!
