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: Pick up Loss Leaders in the meat department and place

them in the freezer for later use.   I was able to pick up Pork Loin for $1.99 per pound and cut

it up into boneless pork chops.

  • Hard Boiled Eggs
