I braved CVS today with both babies and I forgot my double stroller. Plus, they were doing construction inside the store. Somehow we made it and they both stayed in the buggy. We paid $15 for tons of candy and got $5 back. I also bought the coke deal they had this week, because I had a coupon for $5 off when you spend $25 at CVS for filling out an online survey.

My family of 6 (38,37,10,8,6,and 5 yrs) eats $225 per week total and we are fairly tight. That figures to $150 for a family of 4 with no diapers! Hillbillyhousewife.com has a lot of tips and recipes for a very low budget. The name of that website sounds bad, so please google it first instead of risking a typo - but it really is awesome!
One thing I do to save a little $ and time is to buy my ground beef at Sam's. It is cheaper than the grocery stores but you do get a lot of meat. I go ahead and brown it all as soon as possible. Divide the cooked meat, put into freezer zip lock bags and into the freezer they go. Great to have to pull out to make spaghetti, taco, chili, etc.
Yes I think $150 should be my new realistic goal for the week to spend on groceries and out to eat food. Thanks so much!
Suzanne-
Thanks so much. We love taco's and we should try to have taco night once every couple weeks.
Thanks again yall!
Eating at home more will help save money and by planning your meals ahead of time it makes eating at home easy. Also on days you know you will be busy and not have time to cook a meal the crock pot is great, you can even get it all ready the night before and then just put it on in the morning. There are also a lot of easy family meals you can make even if you don't like to cook. We also look for meals that can do double duty. I will put a large roast in the crock pot and at the end of the day I shred half of it up and make tacos and the next night with the second half of the roast I shred it and mix with BBQ sauce and have BBQ beef sandwiches.
