I’m currently challenging myself to stick with a $70 budget for our family of six (two adults, two teens, a pre-teen, and a baby. We are also fostering an 8-month-old, but he only has formula through his g-tube right now and that is all covered by state insurance.) This includes almost all of our breakfasts, snacks, and dinners + most household products (toiletries, feminine products, etc.). Jesse and I usually eat lunch at home. The kids have lunch at school.

I went to Kroger on Saturday to pick up some of the weekly deals + see what markdowns they had. Here were the deals I found…
I was excited about this deal on frozen fruit!
There’s a great deal on BIC razors — some of them are on sale for $3.49-$3.99 and there’s a $3 off digital coupon — making these just $0.49-$0.99 each!
I was excited to find some bread marked down to be able to stick in the freezer for having toast with my daily salads!

It’s so neat how you are able to budget and meal plan with the mark downs at Kroger.
Just wanted to let you know that Dollar Tree has frozen fruit for $1 a bag! I think they may be 10 ounces (not sure).
