April USDA Low Food Plan

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:  I check the discounted racks weekly  for pantry or freezer bargains.  This week I was able to find Angus Ground Beef (95/5) for under $5.00 a pound.  Considering that we are focused on our health and eating higher quality products, this was a real bargain.   I didn’t need it this week, so I popped it in the freezer as soon as I got home.   In addition, baby back ribs were only $1.99 a pound which is roughly half the normal price.   This is one of my son’s favorite things to eat, so I looked for 2 packages that had a lot of meat on them and picked them up.   We enjoyed a rack of ribs this past Sunday and placed the other one in the freezer.
