I know you cannot feed 3 people on $45 week, but remember that your grocery bill at the local supermarket is much more than just groceries.

All the cleaning supplies, TP, paper towels, air fresheners, OTC medical supplies, flashlight batteries, school supplies, greeting cards, stamps for mailing, lottery tichets, are all included inside that "grocery" bill. Take a serious look at what life style you have created by being able to purchase a wide array of items at the "grocery" store and then get a real shock about what the food really amounts to. Candy and soda and chocolate ice cream do no count as basic food, either for this plan. I know they count in my house and in many houses, but not in this plan!
