Book Description

Feed Your Family for $50 a Week! Complete Guide to Budget-Friendly Meal and Menu Planning and Preparation "Every cent you own and every moment you spend is always an investment." ― Natalie Pace One of the biggest, constant expenditures in our weekly budgets is food costs. Food is the one thing that you absolutely cannot do without. You might have the power cut off, the cell phone disconnected, or bum a ride when you don't have gas money, but you must eat. Are you looking for ways to trim your food budget? Have you found yourself in a situation where there's too much month and not enough money? Are you tired of running out of food (or food money) before the next paycheck appears? If you've ever experienced that sickening feeling in the pit of your gut when you're worried if you can provide a healthy meal for your children, then this book is for you. The minor investment of purchasing this book could be balanced out by how much money you could save in your food budget weekly. You will learn sensible, realistic tactics for planning and executing a menu, grocery list, and tips for making that stretch as far as it can. If you're living paycheck to paycheck (or maybe have missed a few paychecks recently), then this book is for you. You'll learn concrete strategies for planning meals and food shopping for your family, such as making the most of your time in the kitchen, hacks for making food last longer, practical tips for saving money, and how to create a three-step budget. PLUS, I will teach you exactly how to provide for a family of 4 for only $50 per week! In this book, the focus is on family and food, and how to feed said family in a cost-effective manner best suited to your unique family. If you grew up on the lower end of the socioeconomic scale as I did, then you already have a good idea of how to do most things in life as frugally as possible. For those on the other end of the scale, or anywhere in between, there are some concepts that you may just need a little information or inspiration on, such as food. Whatever your reasons, the intention here is to share experience, knowledge, and love via the topic of food budgeting. Frugality is an art. It can be extremely satisfying knowing that you have given your family the nutrition they need while filling their tummies, so they don't go hungry. The key is finding ways to provide healthy, delicious meals for your entire family without feeling like you have to take out a loan to go grocery shopping. This book will teach you how to do just that! This book is full of loving, homemade, healthy, budget-friendly recipes for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, including: Aunt Mary's Meatloaf Picadillo Green Chile Sour Cream Chicken Enchiladas Trinidad Stewed Chicken Italian Bruschetta CBCB Alfredo Indian Chicken Curry Chicken Pilaf Vegetarian Chickpea Sandwiches Black Bean Tortilla Soup Sweet Potato and Lentil Shepherd's Pie Potato Pancakes Slow Cooker Best Ever Beef Stew Sweet Potato Chicken Curry Berry Patch Pizza Dessert Chocolate Chip Yogurt Walnut Cookies Yogurt Pops Here's the best part - I will give you a step-by-step plan for feeding a family of 4 on just $50 for the whole week! I will tell you what to spend, where to spend it, and how to prepare the food that you buy to get the maximum reach for your dollar.
