$75-$100 Budget for 2 weeks of meals! D:

Do you have a costco or something nearby that sells things in bulk? That might help your budget a bit. I have to say, $100 for two weeks of food sounds impossible where I live! I wish you the best of luck!

I spend a bit under $100 a month for myself, typically I try to keep it under $75. I eat very healthy for that. Sorry I don't have time to cover all the rest of your questions but will try to get back to this thread.:flowerforyou: Oh and my cat is included in that amount. :laugh:

I'm sure some of these have been mentioned but these are things I do to save money:
-I shop at Aldis and my there low fat brand (not sure were your from and if you have one but if you do it's the way to go)
-I go to the grocery store and buy meat that is reduced for quick sell and go home and portion it and freeze it
-I make bean soup, chili, and vegetable soup. You can make a big pot of these soups for very little money.
-I eat a lot of beans for protein. A can of beans has 3.5 servings for sometimes as cheap as $0.50. You can also buy dried beans if you have the time to soak and cook them, they are even cheaper.
-Try to stay away from "convenience foods" as they are budget killers (most frozen diet dinners are over $3.00)
-Buy fruit and veggies that you like in bulk (our grocery store gives a discount if you buy them that way)
-You can buy canned veggies that are reduced sodium or purchase regular and drain and rinse them (I did this with veggies and beans while following a low sodium diet to lower my blood pressure)
-A carton of eggs is fairly cheap and can be used for breakfast, topping for a salad, or you can eat hard boiled eggs for snacks.
