This week , we are MAKING IT HAPPEN with a $75 meal plan that will easily feed even a large family all week long! I am so excited to share the recipes with you, but first, let's talk about the grocery list and the costs of the food items we need to buy. I did purchase all the things I used in this meal plan at walmart, unless I had them in my pantry. We will talk soon about getting our pantries stocked and ready for frugal meal planning and execution, but for now, I just wanted to be sure to let you know that there were a few items that I had on hand that I didn’t need to buy. I will list them here so that you will know how much I used and how much those ingredients cost for this meal plan (meaning—I didn’t add the cost of an entire bag of flour because I only used a few cups…)
Staple items used this week: 1 Cup Sugar ($0.22) 3 TBS molasses ($0.59) 1 C olive oil ($1.76) 3 C flour ($0.36) Salt ($0.15) Pepper ($0.15) So, the total cost of the “staple” items comes to $3.23.
