February USDA Thrifty Food Plan
According to this plan our family would have a budget of $185.90 per week. Given our health concerns, we struggle to maintain this budget, but I am going to try to make this happen.
Cost Saving Tip of the Week: Always check the discount rack. This week I found boxes of Kodiak high protein granola bars for $1.50. What made this even better was that once I scanned them into my store app, it was included in the weekly deal, so they were reduced to only $0.50 each.
Here is what we did this week to make our week easier:
