Menu Planning: #252
NOTE-
1- Click on the picture and get a link to a post sharing the recipe.
2- Although all prices were correct at the time of the blog postings, the current cost of preparation of these dishes may be higher due to inflation and/or location.
According to this plan, our family would have a budget of $191.80 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: Meal Planning is a great strategy to offset the rising prices at the grocery store. I take a look at what I have in my freezer and refrigerator to start planning. Then I review the grocery store flyers online to see what items are a good price this week. I finalize my list and try to pick up the loss leaders for the week for my pantry/freezer. For example, last week I picked up 5 boxes of cereal at a rock-bottom price for the pantry.
