How I Budgeted Our Grocery Money

$250 Food Budget a Month

$250 Food Budget a Month	$125 Every Two Weeks
Meat: (30%) $75	Meat: (30%)  $37.50
Produce: (30%) %75	Produce: (30%) $37.50
Bulk Pantry: (25%) $62.50	Bulk Pantry: (25%) $31.25
Flavorful Pantry: (15%) $37.50	Flavorful Pantry: (15%) $18.75

• Beans will stretch the meat, add to every meal.
• Have a Quinoa and Bean mix twice a week.
• Eat eggs frequently.
• Use simple flavoring, spices, etc (may need to adjust the two pantry ratios)
• Be flexible, if meat is on sale, and doesn’t take the full 30%, use the leftover money for bulk pantry and produce, which can be frozen.
• No processed snacks, or keep it to one special one a month.
