Here is a sample of how we eat on a budget, yes we do some prepackaged foods, but I try to mix them with whole foods and fresh produce. We have a family of two adults, two preschoolers and a toddler.
Monday
Lloyds BBQ Chicken (on sale for $3.99 - $1.00 coupon = $2.99 and will leave leftovers for lunch)
Potato Rolls (One sale from Cty Market last week, $2 for 12) = about $1.00 for six rolls
Salad w/dressing (BOGO from PNS $3.49 for two bags which will last six meals) + 1/2 Cucumber (.45) = about $1
Total Meal Cost: About $5
Tuesday
Hamber Helper ($1 on sale - .33 coupon) = .67
1 lb 80% Gr. Beef on sale for $1.98 a pound
Salad (same as above) $1 + raw carrots/dip for kiddos about $1
Total Meal Cost: About $5
Wednesday
Chicken Breasts Marinaded in Teriayki Sauce (chicken breasts were $1.99 per pound, sauce is from Tastefully Simple which is pricey, I'll estimate $2 worth of sauce and $2 worth of chicken) = $4
Homemade Fried Rice = $1
Frozen Veggie Mix (on sale for $1 - .50 coupon) = .50
Total Meal Cost: About $5.50
Thursday - Saturday we are out of town so I am not Menu Planning for those days.
Sunday
Crockpot Roast (they were BOGO at PNS two weeks ago making them $5 each) = $5 with leftovers
Carrots, Celery, Onions & Potatoes in pot (hard to estimate, I'll say $2.50 worth
Rice-A-Roni (on sale for $1 - .33 coupon) = .67
Total Meal Cost: About $8 with leftovers for 2-3 lunches of another dinner
