$125 Budget Weekly Menu –See how I feed my family of six including 4 teens for around $125 a week!
This week I had limited time so I shopped at only at Aldi’s (a discount chain). I spent $135.06 which starts our April monthly total a little over budget.

Please Note: I post my weekly menu to encourage menu planning and to give meal ideas, not as a nutritional standard. You should feed your family based on your priorities and values. You may not be able to replicate this exact menu for $125 because sales vary by region and you will have different items on hand, but you can save money just by using a menu. 🙂)
