With the end of financial aid, the expenses of moving and setting up "shop" with deposits....we are cutting back on groceries. I have never bought alot of extra crap, but now Im really being careful.
I went from about $200/week for a family of 5....to about $100/week.
This does not count the dog/cat food or cat litter. I also did not include the $120/month on diapers. All three are in them and I refuse to go generic. (we have issues with leaks and rashes if I switch)Also not included--formula.
So in the name of cheap, this is what we have been having.
BBQ or baked chicken legs
hotdogs
grilled cheese/soup
baked chicken breasts
burgers
breakfast for dinner
Side dishes are a frozen or fresh veggie with a flavored noodle packet mix, flavored rice, french fries, or mashed potatoes.
I guess Im not really sure where Im going with this. Just wondering if you all care to share your family size, how much you spend a week--on food ONLY and what types of cheap meal ideas you have. Thanks
