How I feed my family of 8 on $300 a month - Part 1

Since I have recently lowered my monthly grocery budget to just $300 a month, there has been alot of buzz. People want to know how in the world I do it. They want to know if it takes alot of time and effort? Do they have to feed their family processed, boxed food with little to no nutritional value? And lastly, how can they do the same thing for their family?

On the contrary, my current system takes less time and effort than my old way of doing things. My family eats more nutritious meals, no boxed meals here! And yes, you can do the same thing for your family too!

It does take a little time and effort in the beginning. You have to be willing to learn a new way of doing things. We live in a world where people expect to see immediate results without putting in much effort. I can tell you that although I had to put in a little time to learn how to save money, I am now seeing the fruit of my labor.

You do have an advantage over me though. I didn't have anyone show me all the secrets. I have since found amazing websites with lots of great advice, like Money Saving Mom, but in the beginning I had to figure it all out on my own.

Over the next few weeks, I will show you how I feed my family for only $300 a month. I will show you how you too can feed your family well, while still saving money. I will show you how to budget. How to plan a menu and make a grocery list from your menu. How to shop the weekly sales and further plan your menu from that. How to stock up your pantry with all the great deals you find. Lastly, how to get free, or even get paid to buy toiletries and medicines at the drugstores.

Coming Next: I will be talking about how to set up a reasonable budget.
