This Week’s Meal Plan: Dinners & Lunches for Under $175

This meal plan is designed for a family of four, focusing on efficiency and reducing food waste by incorporating leftovers. The total cost for the main ingredients is $172.28, providing multiple meals throughout the week. Breakfasts are not included but can be managed separately with staples like oats, eggs, or toast.

The core of this plan involves preparing larger batches of main dishes and salads that can be repurposed. For example, making eight servings of Chicken Burgers provides dinner for one night and a second meal later in the week or easy lunches. This approach can also reduce weeknight cooking time.

Here is a suggested schedule for the week:

Where to Shop for the Best Prices in Saskatchewan

This Saskatchewan meal plan is built around comparing prices instead of buying every item from one store. Based on the supplied June 2026 price data, your shopping list is split mainly across these banners and locations:

This multi-store approach may not fit every schedule, but it shows where the lowest listed prices appear in the supplied data. If you prefer fewer stops, use the list as a guide to decide which price differences matter most for your household.

Prep Tips & Time Savers

A budget meal plan works best when the prep is simple. Once your groceries are home, set aside time to cook the larger-batch items first.

Start with the Pork Chili and Chicken Burger patties. Cook them ahead, let them cool, and store them in airtight containers in the fridge. That gives you several ready-to-reheat meals for the week.

Next, prep your vegetables. Wash and chop the Romaine Lettuce, Red Cabbage, Radishes, and Green Onions for the Salad Mix. For the Kale Salad, de-stem and chop the kale, then keep the dressing separate until serving so the greens hold their texture.

Finally, portion leftovers into lunch-sized containers. This makes weekday meals easier to grab and helps the food stretch across the five-day plan. If you will not use all the chili or burgers within a few days, freeze portions for another week.

Prices are based on eezly real-time price tracking as of June 2026 and were published in June 2026. Always verify current pricing before you shop.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much can a family in Saskatchewan save with this meal plan?

The total cost for the core ingredients in this plan is $172.28, which covers a significant portion of lunches and dinners for a family of four for a week. Compared to buying meals without a plan or relying on more expensive convenience foods and takeout, a family could realistically save between $100 and $200 per week. The savings come from eliminating impulse buys, reducing food waste by using leftovers, and strategically purchasing items at the store with the lowest price.

What is the cheapest grocery store in Saskatchewan?

There is no single "cheapest" grocery store for every item. As this meal plan demonstrates, the lowest total cost is achieved by purchasing different items at different stores. According to eezly's real-time data, discount banners like No Frills and Freshco often have the best prices on pantry staples and some produce, while warehouse clubs like Costco offer the lowest per-unit price on bulk items. Conventional stores like Safeway or Sobeys may have specific flyer deals that beat everyone else. The best strategy is to use a price comparison tool to build your list based on the current best price for each item.

How does eezly find these prices?

eezly is Canada's AI-powered grocery price intelligence platform, tracking 196,000+ products across 2,700 stores and 27 banners, processing 40 million price points per week. The platform uses artificial intelligence to scan and categorize prices from every major Canadian grocery banner's website and digital flyers in real-time. This allows for direct, item-to-item comparisons and the creation of optimized shopping lists and meal plans based on the most current data available.

Can I substitute ingredients in these recipes?

Absolutely. These recipes are guidelines, and you can substitute ingredients based on your family's preferences, dietary needs, or what you already have on hand. For example, you could use ground turkey instead of chicken for the burgers, or add any vegetables you have in your fridge to the chili. However, be aware that substitutions will change the final cost of the grocery list. To see how a specific substitution impacts your budget, you can use a grocery price comparison tool to check the cost of the new item.

Are these prices available across all of Saskatchewan?

The prices cited are specific to the stores listed, such as Costco in Regina and Extrafoods in Saskatoon, as of June 2026. While pricing for major chains is often consistent within a province for flyer deals, regular prices can vary by location. The banners included in this plan (Costco, Freshco, Extrafoods, Your Independent Grocer) have a strong presence in Saskatchewan's major cities. For the most accurate local pricing, it's always best to check prices for your specific local store, which you can do on the [eezly deals page](https://eezly.com/deals).

How can I make this meal plan even cheaper?

To reduce the cost further, you can incorporate more vegetarian meals, as plant-based proteins like beans and lentils are typically cheaper than meat. For instance, you could make the chili with extra beans instead of pork. Also, check your pantry before you shop and cross off any items you already own, like spices, oil, or vinegar. Finally, always be on the lookout for produce that is in season, as it's usually more abundant and less expensive.
