My family is technically living below the American SNAP "dream" diet. If we qualified, $29/person/week for my family of five would be $580. Plus my kids would get free HOT lunch at school every day.
We spent $570 last month.
Breakfast: frozen waffles, pancake mix, cereal, oatmeal, organic eggs
Cold lunches: Nitrate free turkey lunchmeat, bread, PB&J, string cheese, yogurt, bananas, oranges, almonds
Dinners: lots of chicken -- rotisserie, wings, leg quarters, breasts, etc. More fish than usual (lent).
Rice. Pasta. Vegetables.
Some hamburger...maybe 3lbs total for the month. We're not huge red meat lovers.
Organic milk, eggs, apples, carrots, celery, beets, and spinach courtesy Aldi or Costco. We juice a few times/week.
