Don’t forget to update your feed so you don’t miss any posts! I’m sorry I don’t have a scan of my receipts. We’ve moved the computer and haven’t hooked the printer/scanner up yet. My goal: $600 a month for a family 10, plus WIC. I’ve been trying to think of how to parse everything out [...]

Well, will you look at that? I’m actually planning our meals this week! First, a question for you. Did you like it when I posted my grocery receipts, when I was doing the Food Stamp Challenge? Our current food budget is more than what it was on our food stamp challenge, mainly because of the [...]

Need some inspiration for Easter Dinner? May I suggest a ham? Ham is a budget’s best friend. You can buy one ham for $10 and eat for a week.

I spent $179.93 on food this week (a little over my allotment of $165.50 per week.) I got… raw cheddar! I am so excited to try this. I didn’t even know the regular groceries were aloud to sell it, but there this little brick was, tucked underneath the hanging bags of Kraft at H.E.B. This [...]

Well, I finally cleared out enough room in my freezer so I stocked up on some meat. If I keep the stock rotating, I should only have to hit the stores once per week. Next week I’m starting a new Food Stamp Challenge. This time, it will be how my family is moving to whole, [...]

I’m still working on increasing the amount of real food in our diet. The children ate corndogs and pizza this weekend. Sometimes you just gotta grab and go. I’m trying to plan ahead for this and did make 2 bags of meatballs from fresh ground hormone free chuck to keep in the freezer. Husband dear [...]

I’ve started moving towards eating real food, and this week’s menu is complicated by husband dear’s decision to start the Atkins diet on Monday. I’d love to see other people’s Atkins menus – leave me a link! Husband dear is working every day this week, and he’ll have meat and cheese rollups, hardboiled eggs, pickles, [...]
