I'm excited to join Emily Levenson's {Project: Food Budget} this week.
I'm feeding 6 - 3 big hungry mouths, and 3 small hungry mouths on a grocery store budget of $300 per week.
This must include food and non-food grocery items. I plan to track my spending under - meat / fruit & veg / non-nutritious foods / general grocery / non-food - as suggested by Jodi at Lightening. These headings make sense to me, especially the treats or 'non-nutritious' - I don't know how much our budget suffers atm because of them...
In fact, I don't really have a good grasp of our food budget other than we have a tendency to overspend...that and I drink way too much Pepsi Max:(
My plan is to create a series of weekly menus, each with there own shopping lists and costings. A lot of work now will hopefully mean less work in the future as I will cycle through the various weeklies as the seasons suit.
So to this weeks menu: (I'll be back later to post the shopping list)
Monday - Chilli con Carne with rice, tomato and avocado
Tuesday - Bean Burgers
Wednesday - Albondigas soup with mushrooms and carrot
Thursday - Chicken with Red Salad
Friday - Italian Vegetarian Patties with salad
Saturday - Zucchini Slice
Sunday - leftovers:D
Food spend thus far is $160. That's all dinners and most lunch / breakfast supplies.
The kids are on holidays...I'm undecided if that makes it more or less expensive!
I'm hoping with the incidental bread / milk / fruit purchases that I can achieve a food total of not more than $200.
I'll be pretty happy with that:)
