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: Make it from scratch vs buying premade items.    I checked the price of my son’s favorite dumplings at the grocery store and was amazed that it is now over $10.00 per bag.   WOW!   It looks like I am learning how to make dumplings.    


Here is what we did this week to make our week easier: 

  • Menu Planning
