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

Quote:
The chart says 132.50 a month for me, but I'm guessing they expect you to buy some convience foods, and I doubt those numbers include eating out
The footnote says all meals eaten at home, so doesn't allow any meals out. It also says "For specific foods and quantities of foods in the Thrifty
Fod Plan, see Family Economics and Nutrition Review, Vol. 13, No.1 (2001)"

I was able to find that issue, and found a dry article that does have menus and a food list at the end. There was a surprising lack of convenience food-some, but really very little compared to what I see in the average grocery basket. You have to scroll down to the very end.
Article with menu plans based on the Thrifty Plan
