I went to the grocery store yesterday to get the ingredients for the stuffed bell peppers, and got some extras, like lean lunch meats, reduced fat cheeses, produce, and whatnot. Spent $80 in all!!! It cut way deep into our budget, and I only bought ONE meal out of all of that. Now I've got $52 for the month for me and my boyfriend. (Throughout the month we'll make extra money to add to the $52, but right now that's what I've got.)
What sort of stuff could I get that will equal up to a lot of meals but low funds? I am pretty lost. Not sure what to buy. I want to go ahead and spend it on real food before Boyfriend wastes it on mindless things such as sodas and candy bars and junkfood (this is what he eats, yet he's skinny. Probably not healthy though, lol.)
Anyhow, I know there are probably a lot of women here who budget for their families and control the finances and have experience in this sort of thing. I am in need of your advice!
