I just reread this wow you have low prices in your area. even on sales.
milk here never goes below $1.80 for a half gal, biscuits are $1 container(if you get the tubes), pizza sauces are $1.99+, Mozzarella chs is $2.99+, hamburger buns I got lucky and the cheapest I got them was 79¢, eggs are like 99¢+ (depends on season I guess cause I have seen lg eggs for $1.60 at the store), OMG $1 for cereal you are so lucky the least I have paid is maybe $1.70, Apples are $2.99 a bag, wow water, juice and milk for a week for you guys is only 59¢ wow we are spending like $21 on juice and milk a week. I am so grateful for WIC they save us alot otherwise we would only drink water here. Anyway I still love your weekly budget and I am going to try to do it myself I just might have to double it since there is 7 of us here. OH how do you deal with too many snackers? I swear it is like they are in the fridge all day. I am trying to figure out how I am going to make what I have in the fridge work for the next two weeks but if ppl don't keep their hands out of the food we won't make it. I have already told them "IT HAS TO LAST TIL THE 8th or we will stare" plain and simple next weeks check is pretty much gone rent is due I will have ONLY $15 for food next week and I figured I could get 4lz of bread, 1 bag of carrots, Mushrooms(?), cheese, and that was about all I think we could afford.
