In reply to Amanda. That's pretty good... the diapers alone could bankrupt you :)

I loved this article! Every family is different and eat different styles of food. I’ve never calculated our price per meal, but we shop exclusively at Sams club. Our budget is $600/month for a family of 4 and that includes diapers. And we eat meat! So it can be done!

Why you need garbage bags? We use the free plastic bags from the store. Wtf you need dryer sheets…. or a dryer. We dry stuff outside and take it in if it’s too cold. Smells better anyway. I could go on… Wtf you need electricity? I mean, ALL the time?

In reply to Taylor. Exactly my thoughts. Sit the kid down and give me a more balanced meal that includes rice/potatoes and one vegetable. Snacking all day is never a healthy habit.

To save properly you have to look at what you are wasting and throwing out.

I have fed THREE people for $1 MANY times, For Breakfast you can have an banana and a bowl of oatmeal or a few pancakes and some coffee or some lowfat milk or some juice.

For Dinner you can have a box of Mac N Cheese and a can of Spinach or Beans or whatever is on sale.

For Lunch you can have a peanut butter sandwich and a bowl of homemade vegggie soup.

In reply to Dee. It's 10 pm in Missouri, and all I've eaten today is a small bowl of steel cut oats with butter and nutmeg, a vegetable stir fry made with extra virgin coconut oil, onions, garlic, kale, black beans, carrots, broccoli, quinoa, and hot peppers, with a spinach/blueberry salad on the side that was drizzled with a homemade dressing of apple cider vinegar and EVOO, plus lemon water to drink throughout the day. My grocery budget is between $60 and $80 a month for one very active older person. I save a lot of money by preparing and cooking everything from scratch, having a year-round garden, and practicing intermittent fasting on a high-fat, low-carb, normalized protein diet. Tomorrow I look forward to something similar, but with variations on the veggies and the fruit.
