SummitPlate dinner plan
$75 Grocery Week for a Family of 4
A budget dinner plan built around overlap
Five dinners that reuse cheap staples so the grocery list does not sprawl.
5-day dinner plan
| Monday | Chicken thigh rice bowls | Cook extra rice for Wednesday. Frozen broccoli keeps produce waste low. |
| Tuesday | Black bean tacos | Cabbage, cheese, and tortillas stretch one cheap protein. |
| Wednesday | Egg fried rice | Use leftover rice and any vegetables still in the fridge. |
| Thursday | Turkey pasta bake | Cook once and protect Friday lunch leftovers. |
| Friday | Loaded baked potato night | Use beans, cheese, yogurt, and leftover vegetables as toppings. |

Why this works
Cheap dinners only stay cheap when ingredients repeat. Random budget recipes still waste money if every meal needs a new cart.
