This was $58 worth of food earlier in the week. Not even a full weeks worth of groceries. The veggies, chicken broth, tortellini and the pack of chicken were all to make my soup. The buns were to go with the soup as well. The rice was to fill up the bin. The orange juice was for my cold infected dh and ddh. The blueberries were for muffins. The salad was for a different dinner, with left over chicken, and the strawberries and grapes were for snacks. Enough but not cheap and definitely not the enough to sustain us. When we were first married, we budgeted $60 to $65 per week, including paper goods and laundry soap, shampoo, etc. Now we spend about $200. I wish a true need, good quality food, doesn't have to be so expensive. We are lucky to have decent, comfortable incomes but I often wonder how families that are not as fortunate create healthy meals. I'm sure it's a creative process to ensure the food matches the funds.
What is your food budget like?
Are you able to buy healthy foods?
