I managed to buy enough food to fill up two grocery carts today, enough food to feed my family of 8 for two weeks, and only spent $400. And that was with a lot of extras I dont usually buy every time I shop like condiments, because we ran out of most everything this month. I average $150 a week to feed all of us. That is for 3 meals a day for all of the kids and myself 7 days a week. Chris eats 3 meals a day here 2 of those days. thats 21 meals a week plus snacks and drinks at approx. $150 a week for a family of 8. I hear so many folks say they cannot eat healthy simply because healthy food COSTS more. I think the fact is, healthy CONVENIENT foods cost more. But if youre willing to put in a little work and make things from scratch, youd be surprised how healthy you can eat at a very affordable price! I make everything from scratch. Breads, muffins, pasta, crackers, etc... I buy in season fruits and veggies and meats that are on sale. we do no junk foods, pre packaged snacks, sugary drinks, etc.... My kids are on a strict diet of organic, all natural foods. No artificial colors or flavors. And they eat WELL. And they are healthy. I think Im going to start doing a once a week food post on my blog. Would anyone be interested if I did? recipes and ideas, etc.....
