Default Re: Money spent on food....$50/Month goal

Good job! It really isn't THAT hard to get the food budget inline when you really put your mind to it, and you can eat healthy and keep it inexpensive.

Hubby and I do make it on $100.00 a month in groceries however we also raise our own beef and veggies. We don't drink soda/pop, don't fall for name brands and do most of my cooking from scratch. Our one "luxury" is chips and cookies, we have daily snacks.

We also feel really good when we can look at a meal and know that we produced it and we KNOW what is really in it. Tonight was burgers, beans and a salad of lettuce, spinach and radishes, the only things not home produced were the dressing, mayo, mustard and the sandwich buns.
