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.     


 May USDA Low Food Plan

According to this plan, our family would have a budget of $197.00 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:  Loss Leaders are your friend.    I take time each week to look at the fresh fruit, vegetable, and meat sales.   I focus on centering my meal around what is already in my refrigerator first and then my freezer.   However, in order to replace freezer meat and supplement my fresh fruit and vegetables I turn to the weekly loss leaders.   I will pick up meat at the lowest price point and place it in the freezer for the future.
