The food budget does goe up in the summer, but I’m surprised her 10 pounds of hamburger only makes four meals. That’s 2 1/2 pounds per meal! For only five people? Ten pounds would be 10 meals around here ;-)
Same thing at our house! For those of you who like to save money, there’s a great website: www.hillbillyhousewife.com. Lots of cheap menus, grocery lists, money saving info & good recipes too!
I was just going to post the link to Hillbilly Housewife until I read your post. You are right, it’s a great site.It’s all common sense, I honestly think that it’s lacking in a lot of people these days.
I have never made sloppy joes for 7 people with more than a lb. of hamburger. I add corn. For tacos, I add cubed potatoes.
Spaghetti certainly doesn’t need more than a pound. Goodness.
