Well, I guess I should start out by saying what I call a food budget, cause as I've seen online a weekly budget for food can run anywhere up to $125 a week. Yeah, lets just say my budget is nowhere near that. Starting this year my budget has been $20 a week with an extra $20 a month if I really need it for something like stocking up on meat cause its on sale and I just don't have the funds yet. This is not money I always spend though. Its only an emergency fund. So far it's gona really well and I've been able to make some really great meals for 2 (plus hopefully leftovers) on this budget. In the future I hope to keep track of some of projects and recipes I make for future reference. So far its not been easy, but I'm trying to make due with what funds I am currently provided.
So, here is to the beginning of my journey being frugal and having fun being a housewife.

You are doing a great job. We do $88.00 a week, but we have 3 more to feed than you do. I remember only having that much or less when we first moved to Idaho. It can be challenging, but you can also be creative.
ReplyDeleteI hope that you will post recipes also. I look forward to reading your blog. Have a wonderful day.

Wow! That is incredible. I'm glad Cheryl told me about your blog. I can't wait to see all of your recipes and ideas. There are 6 soon to be 7 of us but if you are only spending $20.00 that is amazing. I think you should post your grocery list and your menu too.:0)Have a great week.
