A new kitchen equals a new adventure! I am setting out on a journey to find ways to save money, enjoy cooking in our remodeled kitchen, and bring some catholic traditions into our home. My budget will be $50 a week for a family of four. I will take 3 main meals and rework my leftovers into something fun and kid friendly. Ed eats at school so this will help with 5 of the 21 meals a week. Whew. It sounds like a lot when you think of it this way. 4 people * 21 meals = 84 / $50 = $1.68 per meal. It's a good thing 2 of our 4 are munchkins:)
Here are the guidelines:
1) baby needs and household goods will be excluded from my grocery receipts
2) I will stock my pantry with the basics before my experiment begins
3) if I buy in bulk I will apply only the cost of the used portion to the weekly bill
4) the weekly budget will also apply to any special events, guest dinners, holidays, and also our contribution to our catholic couple weekly get togethers
I hope everyone enjoys our journey and finds some inspiration.
