Little steps : a new concept
Back to basics. Groceries on the cheap takes a different look at traditional grocery shopping. Instead of going to a store and buying a weeks worth of groceries and coming home and planning meals, you go to two stores and buy : a rotation protein, what's on sale that you can make meals from, and replenish dairy and fresh veggies hopefully on sale / and/or in season.
This takes a little time, but the rewards are amazing, You eat better and have enough to take you through the month, No one , especially children , should suffer the anxiety, stress, or insecurity of having no food in the house.
The thought of doing this is a bit overwhelming to some people. Basically, it is not hard nor impossible , You think you don't have enough money to do that, But, in actuality you have more than you think. If you buy 1 chicken a week for 1.68 a pound, you get 1 chicken, If you don't buy one this week, and buy 2 chickens for .88 a pound next week, you have 2 chickens, If you know how to stretch that chicken, you can have 8 dinners from those 2 chickens. That's a quarter of the month covered for dinners. If you do that with all your food, and you have meals plus a stock built to cover you if you can't get to the store for some reason or another mishap happens.
