Costco Meal Plan: 2 Weeks of Breakfast, Lunch, & Dinner

This is a super impromptu blog post.

I wasn’t going to share this with you guys, but as I was unpacking my grocery delivery from Costco I realized that it might actually help you to know which things I got and how I’ll be utilizing them over the next few weeks.

I don’t typically grocery shop in bulk like this (save for a few things we like to stock up on in normal life), but with all that’s going on right now I thought it would be more helpful to do one big Costco trip every 1-2 months, and then supplement as needed at Aldi.

So that’s what I did! I bought an enormous amount of groceries, and I’ll be freezing a lot of it (we have an additional freezer in our laundry room) so that it’ll last me for at least a month.

The meal plan is for 2 weeks of meals, but I’ll just repeat it the second half of the month to make it into a four week plan. Make sense?

Oh, and we eat a variety of foods but I am dairy free so all of these meals can be made dairy free if desired (I’ll share how I do so if it’s not obvious).

Also, these are real meals. Like, this is actually what we’ll be eating, not this is ideally what we’ll be eating… like I said this was impromptu so I didn’t plan these meals with the idea of impressing you in mind.

Oh and one last thing: at the beginning of the week I will typically make a big pot of soup or prepare salad fixings so if a meal has dairy in it I can just eat that instead. I also keep a container of dairy free yogurt for an easy breakfast if I can’t eat what the girls are eating.

So with that said: this is our Costco meal plan:

---

---

Day One:

Breakfast: apple juice, berry, and kale smoothie (using the smoothie packs from the Costco freezer section), and honey toast (Gabe gets buttered toast as babies can’t have honey)
S1: crunchy dried apple slices
Lunch: cucumbers and hummus, sweet potato crackers, and pears
S2: guacamole and crackers
Dinner: california pulled pork sandwiches with canned corn and grapes (Costco recipe)
S3: Hippeas and Babybel cheese (you can substitute some turkey lunch meat instead of cheese for dairy free)

---

Day Two:

Breakfast: frozen waffles (check to make sure they are dairy free if needed), and strawberries
S1: Hippeas
Lunch: McDonalds happy meals and soup for me (we’ve been doing happy meals on Fridays because we do Kit’s preschool drive by every Friday, and it’s nice to not have to prepare a meal when we get home).

S2: dried blueberries and lunch meat
Dinner: frozen pizzas and grapes for pizza and a movie night (I do popcorn with earth balance soy free butter substitute, or sometimes I get the Amy’s Cheese Free frozen pizza… much better to have no cheese than a cheese substitute IMO)

Breakfast: Annie’s cinnamon rolls (dairy free!) and blueberries
