Hi! I love your blog! I shared it yesterday on my facebook page. I am going to share it on my website facebook page today. I loved your E-Book, too! I could have written it myself!

I have 6 boys, 14yrs to 1 year. They eat A LOT! I was warned but never even imagined what they could put away! I used to have a $75.00 a week budget but I stopped that a while back because I felt like I was starving them! I’ve had to really think of some homemade foods and cheap yet healthy meals to save money. I have ADHD children and I noticed that all the processed foods, foods with dyes, and sugars make them behave wilder. I really try to stay away from all that. I love your menu post. I do that as well on my site. I hope to see more of that. Do you have more than the 8/19 menu? I couldn’t find a button for any more. I’m always looking for better ways to save money and help with the menu budget. I can be a little obsessed a t times.
I hope you have time to check out my site and enjoy reading it. I will be a reader of yours…when I have time !
Hi Holly! I am so glad to “meet” you.
To find the past menu links go to the FOOD tab at the top, then click the GREAT POSTS button. The Weekly Menu archive is the first button.
I know what you mean about the processed foods affecting your kids with ADHD. From what I have read ADHD and Autism Spectrum Disorders are similar in the way they affect the brain. We have found that giving Cod Liver Oil supplements really helps. I get mine from Vita Cost-Carlson is the best brand.
Have a Peaceful Day!
I’m new to your blog so i don’t understand what the stars after certain items on this post mean.
Hi Jessica!
No problem-thanks for asking.
At the top of the post is a little notation: “*Previously purchased and in the pantry, fridge or freezer.” It just means that these are items that I purchased in previous weeks, so they were not included in this week’s budget.
It’s just a way to show that buying multiple sale items brings your budget down over the following weeks. Make sense?
