$125 Budget Weekly Menu 9/10

by Kimberlee

$125 Budget Weekly Menu –After two years of $100 Budget Menus , we’ve increased the grocery budget to $125 a week for six people including three teens.

The main strategies I use to feed my family well for less are:

(1) Make a weekly menu plan based on the sale items at my local stores;

(2) Buy extras of the super sale items each week so that I am buying food at the lowest price.

 

If you would like more ways to save money on your groceries without extreme couponing, check out my FREE ebook Save More-Clip Less

*Items marked with an asterisk were purchased in previous weeks in the $125 Budget and are in the pantry, fridge or freezer.
