Here is a great link to the USDA website where they plan out 2 weeks of thrifty and healthy meals, along with the recipes and a shopping list

It is really neat! Some of the meals do not appeal to me, but the others are great ideas for cheap meals that are also very easy to make and are good for you. Sometimes I just pick out a few meals to make and it helps make weekly meal planning really easy.
