About MealPrepOnADime

We believe eating well shouldn't cost a fortune.

MealPrepOnADime was born from a simple idea: what if we could help people eat delicious, nutritious meals for less than the cost of fast food?

We're not professional chefs or nutritionists. We're regular people who got tired of spending $500+ a month on food that left us feeling sluggish and broke. So we started experimenting with meal prep, tracking costs down to the penny, and sharing what actually works.

What We're About

• Real budgets. Every recipe includes actual cost breakdowns. No "$5 per serving" meals that require a $50 spice cabinet.
• Simple ingredients. If you can't find it at a regular grocery store, we don't use it.
• Honest reviews. We only recommend products we actually use. If something sucks, we'll tell you.
• No gatekeeping. Meal prep shouldn't require a culinary degree. Our recipes are beginner-friendly.

The Math That Started It All

Americans spend an average of $3,000 per year on takeout and restaurant meals. The average household grocery bill is $5,000+. That's $8,000+ per year on food.

With smart meal prep, you can cut that in half — or more. We've helped readers save $200-400 per month just by planning ahead and cooking strategically.

That's money for vacations, paying off debt, or just having less financial stress. Food should fuel your life, not drain your wallet.
