Do you think you could list a week of meals along with this budget list because I am not seeing what you are eating other than lots of processed foods like pizza and frozen meals, along with other randomness. You are AWESOME at budgeting... we spend around $400 a month for food alone, I wish we could at least cut it in half but I dont want to eat just frozen meals and my husband wont. Would love to know what you really eat daily for a week! Thanks!

Catherine said...

I was curious how much of it you used and how much went into your stockpile.... Next time could you star what is gone/used? Just an idea... Thanks...

Hi Tiffany,
I post my weekly menu plans every Monday here. Typically on the weekends I come up with meals from our stockpile or we use gift cards to eat out.
Hope this helps :)

Hi Catherine,
I'm sorry but posting which items specifically go into the stockpile and which are consumed takes more time than I have. If it helps, most of the items in the "pantry" category and some of the frozen are put into the stockpile. All consumables (bread in "bakery", "dairy", "produce" etc) are usually consumed within the month. HTH!
