$125 Budget Weekly Menu {+ easy recipes!}

$125 Budget Weekly Menu –See how I feed my family of six including 4 teens for around $125 a week!

This week we are over budget because I purchased specialty items like the fontina cheese in our Monte Cristo Sandwiches and snack foods for a field trip the kids took with their dad. Our total spending for the week was $152.46 which brings our February monthly total to $398.53. *Items marked with an asterisk were purchased in previous weeks in the $125 Budget and are in the pantry, fridge or freezer.
