I have set a goal for this month. I don't want to spend more than 5.00 a day on food. That will be around $150.00 for the grocery budget. I think I can do this. We are lucky to be enrolled in the WIC program. That helps out to stretch the budget.
As I have said before we have lots in the freezer and I am pretty well stocked up on the pantry basics. So all that is really needed is proper planning. We go through a lot of milk, I think for this month I am going to have to re-intorduce 50/50 Milk, that is half whole milk and half powder milk, since I have milk powder on hand it will give me 2 gallons milk for the cost of one gallon.
