I still have not managed to get my groceries down to $46 a week like this post, but I’m almost there…Aldi really does help cut costs and get more bang for your buck…especially in the dairy section. This month I got it to $55 per week. I’m always encouraged when I read these weekly meal plan posts. 🙂
Does anyone know how many people this is for? I’ve looked back through Gretchen’s posts and found a lot more people have asked this but there is never a response. Maybe its on facebook? The ideas are great but it would be more helpful if we knew a little about Gretchen. I look forward to the post anyway. Great job Gretchen. By the way, at least the rest of the groceries (after the Roma’s) came out to .33 ? that’s better than what I spend.
Gretchen is my sister! 🙂 She has three in her family, soon to be four. 😉
Wow, those are some expensive Roma tomatoes! 😉
Thanks for sharing! Your menus always give me ideas.
