When it really comes down to it, it is cheaper to buy nutritious food than the high fat, high sugar foods. I could feed a family of 4 on $50 a week easy. You just have to stay away from buying steaks and junk food.

Maybe you live where food is cheaper than I do, but there is no way I could feed four on 50/week. Milk at current 4.50 gallon is 9.00. I would have trouble keeping it much under $100/week. There wouldn’t be much meat and fresh fruits and vegetables in that either.
