"my husband and me" not "my husband and I". Sorry, I had to... people do that so, so much and it drives me insane. Grammar Nazi mode off.
My husband and I is correct, actually:

If you are going to Grammar Nazi, do it right
read towards the end of that first link you posted: "The easiest way to decide whether "I" or "me" is correct is to make the sentence using only "I" and see if it makes sense" - this always works . See also example #2 on the second link you posted.
The way you wrote it, "I feed my husband and me for $120/mo" is correct. If you had said "My husband and I eat for $120/mo", then that would have been correct.
edit: grammar nazi'ing myself here - really, "my husband and myself" is the correct way to fix your original post
Sorry I apparently forgot what I wrote. Edited.

Don't rule out:
Frozen vegetables (store brands are cheaper than fresh)
Canned fruits (rinse off before using) are cheaper than fresh
Canned beans (rinse off before using)
raw beans by the bag
raw rice by the bag, not quick-cooking
eggs are the cheapest source of protein
old-fashioned oats
whole chicken is cheapest and can last several meals
look for "price reduced" section at the meat counter
whole head of lettuce is cheaper than bagged salad
whole bunches of carrots
whole bunches of celery
raw bunches of kale
If you stick with the outside aisles at the grocery store and stay away from the middle aisles, you'll be pleasantly surprised at the savings in your grocery basket. :flowerforyou:0
