I’m not sure this would work for me.

I eat a lot. I don’t think I could eat for $100 a week, let alone feed a family and me.

But for normal people, it seems like a go.

A good thing.

A way to save some cash and still get your grub on.

I won’t spoil it for you and list all 20 ways Prevention recommends you can feed your family for $100 a week.

But I’ll share a few of my favs from the list:

1. Be brand blind – as the most non-loyal brand person on earth, I totally get this. Frankly, the only brand I buy on a regular basis is Kirkland from Costco, and that’s only because it’s almost always cheaper than other brands. I shop for sales, y’all. That’s how I roll.
2. Doctor up your cheap meat – I can totally relate to this. I have no problem buying some cheap beef and marinating it for several days until it tastes really nice. There is a Mexican grocery near our office (that would be Honeybee for you gringos) that sells some most lovely sliced beef that tastes so amazingly awesome and only costs about 4 bucks a pounds. Like it!
3. Leftovers again – I don’t play that “I don’t eat leftovers nonsense.” I eat the heck out of my leftovers. Most of my lunches are yesterday’s dinner. That’s how it is. And I always take any food I don’t eat at restaurants home. I never understood the people who don’t do that. Whatever. I’ll take it home and eat it tomorrow and not spend more money. Booyah!
4. Put on your apron – make it yourself and it’s usually cheaper. Not always, as I wrote a while ago about things that are actually more expensive to make yourself (although many of the commenters disagreed with me), but usually. In fact, DIY food items are almost always healthier and more tasty. So there.
