We’re halfway through 2021, but at least at my house, things are still the same in that everyone still expects to eat dinner every night!
If you have kids in your home, then you are probably familiar with the question that usually comes right after lunch at my house: “What are we having for dinner?” Well, I’m here to save you from summer stress with a whole monthly meal plan for July full of 31 meals. (Actually, there are 30 recipes and one link to 18 potential grilling recipes for the Fourth of July!).
Southern Savers FREE July 2021 Monthly Meal Plan
Because we live in the South and July is usually one of the hottest months of the year, I tried to find light and simple recipes for the most part. We definitely want to limit our time in a hot kitchen! There are plenty of simple recipes for days spent at the pool and also lots of grilling recipes to take advantage of the weather.

You can get some amazing produce deals at your local farmers markets in the summer and fall, so grab some cash and a reusable bag to get ready to shop!
Here are the most helpful tips for how to find deals. When you first go, start by walking a lap around the market to see what is available and for how much. Once you have a good lay of the land, you’ll have the information you need to make wise choices about what to buy!
7 Farmers Market Shopping Tips
Shop In Season
No matter how much you love strawberries, you aren’t going to find the best price in October. The key to finding deals is to know what is in season and only buy those items. This also means that if something is at the very beginning of its season and the farmer only has a limited amount, you aren’t going to get a deal. What’s truly in season will be abundant, so buy those items.
If you are looking for a source that constantly updates, check out the National Fruit & Vegetable Report issued by the government every couple of weeks. This report gives the top 10 fruits and vegetables being produced and the national percentage of which fruits and vegetables are in store ads.
Get To Know Farmers
Grocery shopping has just become a fun chance to get to know a new friend. Get to know the farmers you are buying from. Ask them about their produce. They bought it earlier that day from a bigger farmer or grew it themselves, but either way they’re invested in it. As you get to know them, they will let you know about deals and may even be more willing to negotiate. In addition, if you buy something that is spoiled when you get home, tell them. They will make it right 99% of the time.
Ask About Deal Items
Frost, drought, and an over abundance of rain all affect crops. This means that farmers end up with items that they need to get off their hands ASAP. Rather than feed it to the pigs, they’ll sell it to you for a fraction of the price. You’ll need to either eat it quickly or freeze it that day, but this can definitely be worth your time.
