Hello, all. I'm going to amend my last post only slightly. Five dollars per person is more attainable than five dollars for the whole family. That's the figure I'm going with. Also, I'm going to itemize groceries not by what the total cost is, but according to how far it goes. For example, if I make a roast and it cost $10 but we got two meals out of it, then that's a $5 meal divided by two people, so the total per person would be $2.50. It's a good thing I have a graphing calculator.
Thanks to everyone who responded via Facebook with encouragement and ideas. Please keep them coming. I will be posting the things that work for me and the things that don't, i.e. shopping tips, recipes, store sales, etc., in case anyone wants to join in this project.
Our official first day will be April 1. Tell all your friends. Until then, happy social networking.

Any coincidence that it's April Fools Day?

She posts coupons every single day. I found her on the Times-Union's website. You know, you could also post yours on their website too. It's pretty easy, I think.
Sounds awesome! Can't wait till my kitchen is done and I can start using it regularly- count me in on the cheap meal adventures.
ReplyDeleteHere is a website my boss found- she has bought many things from this gal. She is a young Christian mom, trying to add to her family's income while staying home with her children. Alot of really good deals!

I made a ham and banana breakfast casserole that David absolutely loved. It looks like a lot of ingredients, but per serving it was only about $1.68!
