Day 2 of Feed your family for $450 a month!

Published by admin at 5:58 pm under $450 a month eating, Parenthood, illness

Well its day 2 and how did your family enjoy last nights meal?  Tonight I have a new and easy recipe for you that includes Hamburger helper and either chicken or turkey.  Actually its Chicken Helper, but old habits die hard.  To that mix I added 1 lbs of poultry, 1 can of black beans and 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese.  The cost was broken down to Chicken Helper $1.00, Poultry 2.97, Beans .65, Cheddar Cheese .50 for a total cost of 5.12 and I served it with chips you could also do it with tortillas. for an additional cost of approximately  1.50.  for a grand total of 6.62 for six or 1.10 each person.  Not too bad that gives us $436.89 - 6.62= $430.27.  So we are on our way.  Tomorrow we have a special meal for Robbie and it is Italian in nature.  For those of you interested, I am currently working on a e-book with all the recipes and shopping list for the month.  It should be ready right after the end of the month.

On a different front, I thought you all might get a kick out of the latest here at Weber acres… Alex one of our triplets is not a bad kid.  He goes to school regularly and seems to enjoy it and the teachers seem to enjoy him as long has he isn’t biting or attacking the little girls in his class.  Today I got a call from the school saying that Alex had communicated that he didn’t feel well so I got a call from the nurse and went and got him.  Of course once he got home he was very healthy.  He had a Popsicle and a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.  Then dad gave him a hot-dog and God only knows what else.  Then of course it was cookies with the brother when they got home from school and dinner.  So much for school, illness and best intentions.  Hope your kids are not as smart as my little Down’s Child.  Have a great night.
