I have a favor to ask. For all who would like to participate, I am feeding a family of 6 and I need some ideas on getting my grocery bill below $100 a week. Hubby's job is entering a season when they tend to cut hours. I am looking for weekly menu plans and grocery lists that do not include canned (yourself) items since I have not been canning. And does not include having alot of things already on hand. Even though I do keep staples, a few weeks of cut paychecks can lead to staples being used up quickly.  Leave me a comment,  or you can direct me to a post you have done or send an email to

amaddiex0439@charter.net

I have big eaters (hubby, 11yr old, 9yr old, 7yr old, 2yr old) so servings on meals usually need to be 8 or so ( I also like to send the leftovers for hubby's lunches). Lots of from scratch type foods welcome since I love to cook, but not time too consuming.

Hoping you guys can give me some great, frugal ideas!

Blessings!

Hello! Saw you on and thought I'd say hello! Been blogging with Jess, but haven't stopped by you! LOL

Mom has a bunch of menu planners on her homestead blog... if you wanna look.

Have you ever been to the www.hillbillyhousewife.com site? They have $40/week and $75/week "emergency menus" that cover breakfast/lunch/dinner without assuming that you have lots already on hand! I have used the $75/week menu and liked it very much! They also have lots of other low-cost recipes (and mostly healthy too) on their site! She is also a homeschooler and has links to info about homeschooling too! HTH
