   You can do it! That is what I budget for food too, and it is possible.

   How many people do you feed on that $25 a week?

   Mmmm ... I love Swiss Steaks! I haven't had any in years. I need to check at our local ABC store to see if they still carry them. My mouth is watering just thinking about it!
   
   It sounds like you've got a pretty good menu plan.

   I feed myself, my 19-yr-old, who eats like 2 people, and have leftover for lunch-sometimes- it depends on what I fixed the night before- I own my own private-label line of Amish jams, pickles, salsas, fruit salsas, and sorghum, so I don't have to go out and buy those things. I get homemade yeast rolls from the Mennonite bakery I used to work at every Friday, to go with the meals. I buy bulgar wheat from the co-op and split a 50-Ib bag of potatoes with my mom. I'm lucky, in that I merchandise across the state, so I can find different deals in different areas. I do have $50.00 a month that I stockpile with, for example, this week peanut butter is $1.00- its usually $1.49 or more- even at our Save-A-Lot, so I'll buy even for 6 months( 12 jars) this saves almost $6.00, so, in the long run, doing this every month, puts back the $50.00, plus adds more food. We raise a huge garden- will be planting early next month.

   I' had planned on being on it several months- just to see what I can pay off. But I didn't do too well today- bought Pepsi and ate out, so it is hard to do. For someone who travels slot, it is hard to do- but it was an idea. But, I have other resources in which I am blessed with too- like interviews and appearances that include dinner and lunches, so I get alot for free, being an author/actress. So maybe it will work on $50- but $50 is still good.
