    I would love to be able to feed my family for $50 a week, but I don't know how we could get it down that far.

  • obbigttam  on  March 31, 2017

    Lol I can't see how but willing to give it a try. Our weekly shop averages around $200 at the moment and apart from becoming vegetarian can't picture getting 2 adults and a growing boy fed on $50.

    I would be using a far higher percentage of canned foods to get down to $50 per week. It's worth a try!

    If I had to I could but they wouldn't necessarily like it. Lots of rice and homemade soups.

  • Bridie  on  April 2, 2017

    With difficulty… And there is only 2 of us

  • imjammin2  on  April 2, 2017

    I'm sure I could but it would be a challenge!

  • keelz23  on  April 3, 2017

    I would try the tomato & zucchini pasta.

    Slow cooker sticky ribs

  • matag  on  April 9, 2017

    No

  • sarahawker  on  April 10, 2017

    It's really hard to imagine, 4 men w/ $50? Does it include meat?

  • bstewart  on  April 10, 2017

    Possibly, being super resourceful. But it'd be a challenge!

  • gjnmc  on  April 14, 2017

    Possibly if we ate much less meat and more canned food. I'm very curious to read this book to see how its done.

  • CurlyCozza  on  April 14, 2017

    I very much doubt it! But I am so curious as to how she does it!

  • fiarose  on  April 15, 2017

    yes, of course! fresh veggies and staples, like rice and beans. i live on less than 50 a week normally!

  • IngridO  on  April 15, 2017

    Slow-cooker chocolate fudge

  • DFlorent  on  April 19, 2017

    ??? that would be testing me.

  • mph993  on  April 20, 2017

    Not without knowing a lot more about it than I do now.

  • jd5761  on  April 20, 2017

    Slow-cooker chocolate fudge

  • pandapotamus  on  April 20, 2017

    it would be a challenge!

  • edyenicole  on  April 22, 2017

    The TV dinner sounds interesting!

  • Rowdyrabbit  on  April 24, 2017

    The best I've been able to do is $100 for the 5 of us, with a well stocked pantry though! Also, we have special dietary needs that usually pushes costs up.

Seen anything interesting? Let us know & we'll share it!
