Grocery Cart ~ $63.80
January 8, 2010
This year our budget has changed. It was $150.00 for a week for our family of 7. In April we will have a new baby and we will have a family of 8! I cannot wait. But that does mean our groceries will increase. If I'm not able to breast feed then I will have to buy formula. Anyone have a great formula they liked that was cheap? I'm preparing. Back to the budget issue. Our plan this year is to spend $400.00 or much less a month in groceries. I'm challenging myself to plan meals better to get the grocery bill down. My boys love to eat a LOT , so we will see how this goes!!
Meal Plan for next week is next.
