Grocery Cart Challenge - Feeding a Family of Five on $100/Week or Less



Let's face it. Feeding a family is expensive. Lately, I have challenged myself to feed my family on a budget of $100/week or less. It has actually been going pretty good. I don't coupon, mainly because of the time involved, but kudos to those who do! I have accomplished this mainly by planning simple, healthy meals and doing the majority of my shopping at Aldi. Never tried it? You definitely should!


Anyway, I thought I would post this grocery cart challenge for accountability and for fun! Please join in if you would like and add any comments about how you keep your grocery bill in check. I can use all the help I can get!


The menu this week includes:

  • Turkey chili
  • Teriyaki meatballs & rice
  • BBQ chicken w/ veggies and baked potato
  • Quesadillas
  • Our "feast" for the 4th of July will be turkey hot dogs, veggie platter and fruit smoothies


Oh, I almost forgot...my total for the week was $88.41.
