Now that school is about to be in full-swing again (and already is for several school districts), I wanted to share this awesome resource for saving time and money… even while eating Gluten-Free!
My friend Erin has created a complete plan with everything that you need to make 20 gluten-free meals in your crock-pot for under $150. And you can get all of the ingredients at your local Costco store!
Keep in mind that the Costco prices included in the plan are the prices here in Texas, so they might vary a little by region. You can see a full list of current Costco prices on our Costco price list page!
All you need to assemble all of the freezer cooking bags is 2 hours on the weekend. In that two hours you can put together EVERYTHING that you need for a month’s worth of weekday dinners. Then each day throughout the month, just take out the freezer bag that you already prepared and dump it into the crockpot in the morning! Super easy!
Here’s what it ends up looking like!
I’ve actually been looking for a new slow cooker (mine finally bit the dust this year), so I’m looking at getting this one here that Erin highly recommends.
Erin has made the whole process super easy and has put everything you need together in a downloadable package!
Here’s everything that comes in the package:
(1) Printable Assembly Instructions – step by step guide to pulling all these meals together and into the freezer
(2) Printable Assembly Cards – so you don’t forget any ingredients in each bag
(3) Printable Labels – you can print these out onto Avery #6874 label paper and stick them to your plastic baggies or containers.
(4) Exclusive Access to the 3 Instructional Assembly Videos – Erin takes you through ALL two hours of assembling your meals!
(5) Recipe List & Grocery List!
The recipes included sound amazing too!

Is it easy to convert this plan to be for a family of two? Its just me and my son.
I bought one of the meal plans and it has worked great so far! We have LOVED every recipe!. Although our dinners have been taken care of, we are still finding ourselves spending over our budget on food. I’m not sure why, but every few days we still go to Safeway and spend ~$15-30 per visit. How should we approach this?
