I can’t believe this is free

I wish I would’ve known about this amazing recipe blog and its’ app a long time ago. It’s everything you’d want in a meal planning app: delicious recipes that are budget-friendly, a quick and easy meal planner that is simple to use, and not to mention that all of the ingredients can be added to your Walmart cart (and are editable) and can be checked out so quickly. Meal planning has always taken me so long and now it takes hardly any time at all. So grateful for the ability to do this through Budget Bites!

I couldn’t be happier

This app is incredible. For someone who loved meal prepped services- this is an affordable and fun way to plan meals and makes picking up or getting the ingredients delivered. I cannot believe I have not found it earlier. I recommend everyone has this on their phone to stay organized and on top of food prep for you and your family. THANK YOU!

BudgetBytes is the Bomb!

I started using some of these recipes online a few years back when I was in college and loved them. Now as a new mom, using this app with the recipes I love and the features that streamline my meal planning all in one place has been such a life saver!

The grocery list builder is awesome. I especially love the feature that allows you to deselect any ingredients you might already have at home and that it combines ingredients that might be used in multiple recipes on your list. The weekly meal planner is great too! We have a lot of fun planning out our week and understanding how to use all of the features was a snap!

Do your family and your wallet a favor and get this app!

My go-to

I got into budget bytes right after I graduated college to make affordable meals that were both nutritious and delicious. At that point I was just enjoying the blog but once the app was available I had to get it! Such a reliable and beautiful app for planing my weekly meals 🙌

My go-to

I’ve been using this app for nearly 3 years now. These recipes are very easy & after awhile you end up having mostly everything you’ll need for them. This app makes it easy to organize your week, shopping list & fill your cookbook. My categories consist of Soup, Sides & Sauces, Chicken, Pastas, Sausage, Ground Turkey/Beef, & Desserts!
Some of these recipes can be rather heavy in calories, but it’s easy to make substitutions & customization is available for diet restrictions and/or allergies.
