December 2024  USDA Thrifty Food Plan

According to this plan, our family would have a budget of $187.40 per week. Since January has 4 weeks, our monthly budget is $749.60.   We elevate our dining experiences by including fresh fruits, vegetables, and higher-quality meats.  Since we have health concerns and are active individuals, we limit our processed food choices.   

Grocery Shopping Tip:    

• Clean out your refrigerator before shopping and list all of the perishable foods. At the beginning of the week, use these fruits and vegetables in your meal plan, and only buy what your meal plan needs for the rest of the week.  

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

• Meal Planning 

• Wash and cut fruit and vegetables

• Take meat out of the freezer
