Update on Meal Planning Course

I'm a bit frustrated! I worked on the vidoes, did several for the meal planning course and then they did not record right and were too dark to use. I guess I will have to start over or either forget the videos and just do it with words(?).

I wanted to see if it was still possible to feed my family of 3 on $80 a month since the media claims times are so bad and on and on. Well, we did it! I made my list and went shopping at Walmart and Winco and got our food for this month at $80! I even got some "luxury" items....extra meat that was on sale and some cookies. So it CAN still be done despite the "hard" times the media claims we are going through.

  1. I was wondering if you could post a menu plan of $80/month. I've been trying to do this and there is very little money for fruit, which I feel is an important staple in any diet. How do you afford fruit?

    Hi Lindsey, we only eat apples, bananas, canned mandarin oranges, raisins and then I make our jam from strawberries. We were able to afford it on the $80 plan and you can more of my posts on that under "Meal Planning 101", hope that helps! :)
