What's in your house to eat?

Okay, we spend about that for the three of us (me, sister and father), so here I go: Fresh spinach and eggs are a must. Makes a good omelette, or garlic sauteed spinach. I usually keep various "snack fruits" around, like kiwis, peaches, etc. Target makes some pretty healthy ready-made foods, so I get the Archer Farms pizzas (there are some good diet ones) and the Archer Farms samosas (delicious and not bad for you). I make tea using teabags by the gallon, which I drink instead of soda or juice. Lean chicken is a must in the house as well, as is fresh garlic.0

starches won't be a problem, but for protein, I'd go with eggs and beans. I find that frozen veggies are ususally pretty cheap.0

Ok, this may not work for everyone, some people, I'm sure have more self control, but I also have a limited budget, plus I feed 3 people during the week and 4 on the weekends on about $75 a week. I buy gift cards, 4 $50 ones for Winn Dixie, and 5 $20 ones for save a lot. That way I know I still have grocery money all month, and still get to hit the sales each week. We only get money once a month, and it was either do this or buy a months worth of groceries at once. With a 14 yr old son, that did not work out well, lol. Winn Dixie often has boneless skinless chicken breasts b1g1 free. I stopped buying bagged salads, just this week, and buy heads of romaine and iceburg now. That seems to be working. Wow. I am getting distracted. Ya, so anyway, its easier for me anyway to shop once a week instead of once a month. Always shop with a list and a calculator. That saves embarrassment, and forgetting items needed for a recipe.0
