March USDA Thrifty Food Plan

According to this plan our family would have a budget of $186.20 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: Check your sale flyers for loss leaders.   Each week grocery stores advertise specific products at a great price to get you in the store.   Recently, I have noticed a very specific time frame for getting these deals.   Good luck and happy hunting.  


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

  • Refrigerator Clean Out

  • Pre-cut all vegetables for the week

  • Pulled older items to the front for easier consumption

  • Hard boil eggs

  • Pre-cook protein for Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday
