Right now, our finances our super tight so I am challenging myself to lower my grocery bill (again!). I know many people who feed their family for so little, and as much as I have tried I have struggled to keep my bill between $100-125. I would like to go down to $75-85 per week without compromising on eating healthy foods. I am feeding a family of 5, and we have hearty appetites! With Thanksgiving this week, I should be able to get away with a pretty small trip to the store! With that in mind, here is my menu plan! Many items (like cereal and meat) I have stockpiled in my pantry or freezer already:
Breakfasts:
Cereal, milk, fruit x 2
Cinnamon Bread, Smoothie
Toast w/ jelly, Fruit Smoothie
Pancakes w/ syrup, fruit
Eggs, Toast, sausage
Apple Bread, Yogurt, granola
Lunches:
Leftovers x3
Grilled cheese/soup
Mixed green salad with hard boiled eggs
PB&J Sandwich, veggie sticks, fruit
Thanksgiving dinner!
Suppers:
Pork Roast, Rice, Vegetables
Sloppy Joes, french fries, veggies
Lasagna casserole, garlic bread, salad
Homemade Pizza, pineapple, salad
Turkey Tetrazzini, leftover rolls & veggies
Thanksgiving Casserole, leftovers

Good luck with that. We have a fairly small grocery budget due to finances as well but I feel that we do not include as many fruits and veggies as we should. I am trying to figure out how to make it all work on a small budget.
