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: When Proteins are loss leaders, then stock up for at least 1 month. This week chicken breasts were at a rock-bottom price, so I picked up 3 packages. My freezer is happy.


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

  • Precut vegetables and fruit
  • Made a weekly dessert
