Hello my Fellow Foodies!! I wanted to share a $100 Meal plan that you can feed a family of 4-8 for about $100. I love to save money and love to teach others how to do so as well!
Eating for Less is Possible!
I know that it’s hard to believe but staying on a strict budget is still possible in 2024! If you can meal plan and buy groceries when they go on sale and just learning when and where to buy your groceries you will find a huge cut in your grocery bill. Staying within a $400-$600 budget is definitely doable, obviously depending on the area you are in, but there are always sales when it comes to groceries which is how I can usually stay within a pretty tight budget and yet still providing for my family very liberally.Â

You don't have to spend alot to eat well:
If you use this plan then you can get anywhere between 150-200 individual meals, now I do have small children which at the moment do not eat a whole lot so it really depends on your servings and how many people you are feeding in your family. I feel that this is a very liberal meal plan that is really delicious and not lacking on your taste buds whatsoever!Â
