$125 Budget Weekly Menu 10/12 {+ Easy Recipes}

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.

(Please Note: You may not be able to replicate this exact menu for $125 because sales are probably different in your area and you will have different items on hand, but you can save money just by using a menu. :) )

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

As always, I love the menu ideas! I love seeing how others feed their family, not only so I can “steal” their ideas ;) , but to keep myself inspired to do the same for my own family.

This is what we will be eating this week….
