I will post a breakfast and lunch menu, but those don't have a lot of variety. Our grocery budget is less than $400 a month. Since we have switched to whole grain products and better sweeteners, I can't seem to get it back down where it used to be. I do my best with what we have. I am trying to get it down to $350 and then will see where we are with food choices. I mentioned in an earlier post that I don't shop sales, but I do stock-up on food that is on sale when I go shopping. I am out of ground beef right now but still have a turkey in my freezer and quite a few chicken pieces in there too. I try to use powdered milk for cooking. This saves the fresh milk for drinking. Fruit that is on sale goes in the buggy too so no expensive fruit or veggies. I am off to finish my grocery list so we can go tomorrow. Have a great weekend.
