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 will try to make this happen.   


Cost-Saving Tip of the Week:  Cook once eat twice.    This week I had a few personal goals that I wanted to accomplish, so planning and cooking needed to be streamlined, so we can get dinner on the table by 6:30 every night and decrease the number of times we eat out.    My solution is to cook once and eat twice.   We are cooking beef in the crock pot and eating it over salad another night.    In addition, on pasta night, I am making extra pasta and turned it into a salad for lunches.   


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