This is our meal plan for the week of February 3 – February 9, 2018.
If you would like to see a weekly meal plan for our family of 5 including breakfast, lunch & dinner you can check it out HERE and HERE
We are currently working on reducing our grocery spending as a whole by cutting back ($100-$140) a month in hopes we can apply that money towards building our 3 month emergency fund.
(Update: We succeeded in funding our 3 month emergency fund and we are now feverishly adding to our house fund)
Currently, we budget $700 a month for a family of 5 which includes 2 adults and 3 children (8,6,2) living in California. The $700 is not entirely food we do factor in any household/toiletry items into that as well.

This week ended up not being too bad. It helped that I found an insane deal on ground beef. You definitely can’t pass up .99/lb when you see it. The beef alone will get me through the next 3 months for sure. So far so good for the month of February I’m excited to see where the rest of the month takes us.
