I'm always interested in saving money at the grocery store. This week, I got all this at Kroger for $68.40
Our family has been trying to eat as "clean"/healthy as possible for the past several months, so the majority of this is organic. It can be a challenge to eat healthy on a tight budget, so I thought I'd share what my family is eating this week. We budget $70 per week for groceries (2 adults, and 2 children). This week I spent $73.89... I went over a little by going to the farmer's market (the 2nd picture).

We recently bought 1/4th of a cow, so I won't be using much of the grocery budget buying meat for a while :)
If you are interested in cleaning up your eating, check out this website (www.foodfacts.com). You can type in any food and it will give it a rating A through F. I was surprised to find that jif peanut butter received an F rating. I knew it wasn't good... but didn't know it was that bad. You'd be surprised what you can learn on foodfacts.
What did your family eat this week?
Brooke, this makes me so happy! There are weeks where our grocery bill is low, but then there are weeks, when I want "real food" and that seems to make the bill go up. I know that some women work really hard to coupon and deal match (and whatever else they do) so that they can eat real food for 17 dollars a week for a family of 10, but I am definitely not there yet :) Thanks for keeping it real! You have some yummy meals planned!
