    I'm sorry but I feel like 150 a week is easily doable (if you are going for a frugal thing, if not I apologize.) I'm honestly not trying to be rude or anything but I feed my family of 4 on like 60 bucks a week. I shop at Aldi's and I stock up on whole foods, canned goods, and buy healthy snacks. We chop up a few apples, and grapes, put them in baggies and stick them in the fridge, thats healthy snacks for a few days done. Then I meal plan and make very good use of my crock pot. I make chili, soups and homemade pasta sauce and then freeze it! There's a lot you can do thats very inexpensive and it just takes some planning. I also will make big meals of stir-fry and my husband will take it as lunch the next day. Also, having one day a week where you just eat leftovers is a great way to have dinner for free and clean out your fridge!
    its great that you've whittled it down to 150 but I know you can go lower! I believe in you girl! 😊

    Inspired! One thing too though is time. I leave my house for work at 6:30 am and don’t get home until after 6- have a 2,4 and 6 year old and I feel like I never have the time to really budget and food prep as much

    Loved this! I feel like the type of food/meals you cook mirror my family of 5 - gives me confidence of being able to stick to a tighter budget.

    What about drinks? Do you buy milk, water, juice, pop, coffee? I find that is a huge part of my grocery bill.

    My Stater Bros. would take a canned ham from fridge shelf and slice it thin into lunch meat for my parents. 😇God bless you deli folks. Pantry and freezer leftovers tips rock.

    Just made a list for Aldi's and ate breakfast before I watched your video.
    I am armed and ready to save money!
    I always eat before I shop.

    I just found this video thank you! Now I just have to figure out how to get my picky eater on board with this. We cook almost everything ourselves because we have one kiddo with food allergies, but the picky eating is what kills our budget most of the time.

    Loved your video! Thank you for your great advice. What all do you use in your tacos? You have black beans in a pot, what else? This girl cant cook so trying to simply follow recipes till I can do it myself.

      If your trying to spend less on groceries, you might find the mobile app PICKL really helpful. PICKL pays people $5 to take pictures of grocery products. You can use the app when shopping to offset your grocery bill.

    Great ideas, my 16 year old son is ALWAYS hungry and prefers dinner leftovers for snacks, breakfast and lunch 😰 any ideas for stretching meat to make larger meals out of it. Of course I’m always adding pasta and potatoes but he’s allergic to dairy so adding cheese isn’t an option for his except dairy free cheese sometimes but he doesn’t love it

    • @Jaisha26

      If you find a budget that includes big eaters, let me know. My son and husband DESTROY food so quickly, especially during the weekend. Plus, we don't eat a lot of gains or pasta. Just makes it harder.

    Checked freezer. Venison and ice cream. I'm good!

    Buys snacks and a tiny package of preprocessed pasta, but rice, corn and carrots appear for free out of the pantry, and are spent without a replacement for the next week. Pouring own eggs and some cheese over pasta will make more mass/energy per money spent.

    Thank you so much for sharing this!! My favorite part and what I’ve learned from you, it is to use left overs for another great meal! I absolutely love your ideas except the Kraft Mac and cheese!!! That’s one of the worst things you can feed you kids. Not only bad but no nutrition in it at all. Making your own it’s only one or two dollars more. Thank you again for such a wonderful video.

      If you don't like it don't do it, but you've no right to tell other people what they should or shouldn't do.

    Mississippi must be cheaper than Oregon
    Edit: I just looked it up. Mississippi is ranked cheapest for groceries in U.S. Oregon is ranked 43 for most expensive. So, this show doesn't pertain to all got costs but great tips! Thank you
