MPM: It's what's for dinner

Menu with Daily Costs

Of Note: We’ve got some leftovers from getting together with my parents to watch the Super Bowl (it’s all about the food) to eat up this week. I’ve still got half a soup pot of soup from last Friday so I will be freezing that for the future (and since I already calculated and tabulated its cost- when we eat it again it will be free!) as I’m a bit tired of eating it right now!

I like that you added your costs. How many people do you feed on this budget? I feed my family of 6 on $60.00 a week for groceries and household items. I enjoy putting together leftovers to create new meals and save on my weekly grocery bill. Thanks for sharing. I hope that you will come and check out my blog at http://proverbswife.blogspot.com

Thanks for showing the costs. Gives me something to aim for- I am spending way too much on groceries and food in general! Excellent menu!
