Hi! I'm Sydney, a stay-at-home mom of three, and I make homemade meals for my Colorado family every week.
Each weekend — with that budget in mind — I plan all my family's meals for the upcoming week. This includes choosing the recipes I will make, plus the actual shopping. I cook pretty much every meal every day due to a severe peanut allergy in my household. We don't rely on much takeout for this reason.
(Produce: Garlic, bok choy, green onions, cilantro, ginger, red bell pepper, green beans, carrots, lime, avocado, oranges, lettuce, tomato, bananas, parsley. Dairy: Ricotta, parmesan, mozzarella, cream cheese, cheddar, colby jack, sour cream, milk Meat: Chicken, ground beef, breakfast sausage, hot dogs. Pantry: Marinara, lasagna noodles, artichoke hearts, chicken broth, ramen, soy sauce, taco seasoning, refried beans, salsa, coconut milk, basmati rice, taco shells, black beans, tortillas, cheddar cheese soup, oats, brown sugar. Misc: Mini muffins, crescent rolls, frozen hash browns, frozen spinach. (**Not pictured: Costco eggs.)

False advertising. Lump those three small kids together plus the mom and half the dad would make a teenage boy’s meal.
Costco and Aldi, followed by Sam’s Club, then, good sales at any other supermarket.
That’s the order I’d encourage people to follow when purchasing food, unless you grow your own or can get it from someone locally for a good price.
I have 3 teenagers still at home. All in sports, highly active, teenage metabolisms through the roof. They eat like wolves. I drop $400+ a week easy.
“Costco and Aldi, followed by Sam’s Club, then, good sales at any other supermarket.”
Costco, Walmart and Aldi, followed by Sam’s Club then BOGO’S at Publix.
We do splurge at Publix for fruits, veggies and deli.
It’s not as expensive when the kids are small like they are in this article.
Try feeding 3 teenagers that clear the fridge every 2 days.
Is it less expensive to cook? Yes, absolutely. We meal prep around here, too. But even homemade chicken quesadillas with lime rice and a salad is $22 for a family of 5 adults...and that’s just dinner!
I went to the local Walmart grocery earlier this week.
The Dems’ Inflation Reduction Act has NOT kicked in.
Prices on many items are still increasing.
How long is this ‘transitory’ going to last?
If I had the cash back for every uneaten meal my children have left, I’d be retired by now.
I don’t have the slightest idea what our monthly grocery bill is.
Same here! Also, she’s showing what she makes for dinner. What about breakfast and lunch?
And that may work for one week. Tacos are junk food. Where's the Tuna fish. WHOLE milk. Not enough protein for 5 people.
Yeah, toddlers eat one good meal every other day.
False advertising. Lump those three small kids together plus the mom and half the dad would make a teenage boy’s meal.
LOL!
So how many bbq’d toad ribs does it take to make a meal for all three?
Agree...No cereal...no bread...No soups....no peanut butter....no bananas....
Oops....There are bananas....looks like 4 for 5 people for a whole week?? I eat one every other day.
No bugs. No impossible meat.
Quit bragging about how much money you have. 😂👍
We find some bargains at Grocery Outlet. But, check dates on pkgs.
