14 day meal planning

Do you do this at home too?

I will be needing to plan ahead because I cant go to the grocery store everyday. We don't plan on driving out of Yellowstone or the Tetons for 10 days so wanting to plan on stocking up the cooler and RV fridge the best way possible.

Never planned or stored more than 5/6 nights meals, can't help. That's a bunch of food to lug around. Heck I don't keep 14 days of food at home.

I always pack bricks of cheese, make a cheeseball, homemade chicken salad for the 1st evening out, hot dogs, brats, taco meat & sloppy joes frozen & in camper freezer, canned soups for worn out nights, fresh baby carrots, couple of onions-one already diced in Tupperware onion container, cans of different veggies, pkgs of tuna, mayo in frig, loaf of bread, eggs, ready baked bacon, I'll do a freezer container of mac&cheese, it's just endless what you can prepare ahead of time. But I wouldn't do 14 days worth. Too many restaurants to try out there. But I do spend a full day preparing food before any trip & post a list on the frig. Have fun!

Yeah. I rarely eat all the food I think I will when I pack. So I don't pack so much.

Looks like the OP will be on the road every few days. There's always a grocery store or restaurant somewhere...unless this is about money.

We will plan for, and pack up to about a week of meals at a time. Then it's time for a trip to the store, laundromat, dump station, battery charger and water refill.

Our freezer is full when we plan for a week.

I am a veteran of 10-day trips to areas where resupply is difficult. I am also solo and not a fussy eater. My plans: I don't count on much refrigerator use because my frig is tiny. Prep fresh foods at home, eat them first, then later on the trip perhaps cook up a big batch of something made from canned food and rice or pasta and low-volume frozen meat from your freezer and put that into the frig for leftovers. Bread is almost always a problem on longer trips, so I use tortillas or flatbread or crackers. Don't plan on bananas being around after the first few days. For breakfast, my current favorite is homemade Overnight Oats (quick oats, powdered milk, chopped dry fruit); I prep pouches at home and each evening add water to one and put it into the frig to soak overnight and be ready in the morning. Eggs, canned tuna, cheese, peanut butter for protein. Carrots, celery, and other raw veggies can keep for quite a while in the frig. The point for me is the trip, not the food. Your choices may be different.

I take:
pre-cooked, boned, chicken breasts in meal size pkgs.
pre cooked taco meat, pre cooked mini meat loaves.
frozen cooked meatballs
pre cooked bacon
hamburger patties, cooked or raw/frozen
hot dogs, brats, breakfast sausage.

I also take
pkg chicken alfredo with noodles, mac/cheese in a box or cup, canned chili, canned soup, canned beans and other vegies.

lots of cheese, oleo/butter, lunchmeats, yes, even SPAM, :) tuna, etc.
bread will be your problem if you are a bread eater. take canned biscuits and tortillas(in the freezer)

We use our food saver machine to make meals that we can cook on the grill.
Also we premake all our roasts as well and seal them in bags, so we can just drop them in the slow cooker.
We do planning ahead for everything. BJs is our best friend. We buy lunch meats and slice them ourselves and use the food saver machine to seal seal them up. Saves a lot of room in house freezer and camper when we go out as there is no big blulky packages.
We also have a note book set aside where it is set up into days and then days are broken down in breakfast , lunch, afternoon snack, and dinner and deserts if kids want for each day.
We can usually fit everything into the campers fridge.
We did two and half weeks in New Hampshire and only had to go out for bread and chocolate bars for smores. If you don't count stopping at the fresh fruit stands when driving by.

Just an FYI .... There is a very nice Albertsons where we stocked up before handing to Yellowstone after a week in the Tetons last summer. much better prices & variety than the "stores" in Yellowstone. If you're leaving Cody going to Yellowstone, I'm sure they have a nice grocery store with everything you'll need. Then you can go to Jackson & restock.
