No one plan is going to work for everyone, so I'm not sure why the need for your negativity. You could have used this as a starting point, and tweaked it to fit your family's needs. Plus, you're comparing your prices in 2019 to this post from 2015.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7308600452665644986.post-42562571249510674842019-08-06T18:05:47.319-05:002019-08-06T18:05:47.319-05:00So many hopes dashed.

Also 24 meals does not fill a month by my math... So to try your meal plan it would cost me at least $1000 and I would need a lot more 'extras' to get through breakfast and lunch.

If you are around Midland or Odessa you are out of luck. I drive an hour to get to an Aldi. Oklahoma (where I live) taxes food at 10%! We moved here from Austin about 6 years ago. You can imagine my horror at that. When Aldi opened in Paris, about two years ago, I had never heard of them. I more than save the gas money just in taxes when I shop there. Eggs are generally .69 a dozen compared to $1.69 in OK! Check again. Depending on where you are, you might be able to make a day of it and do something to incorporate the shopping with another errand or activity. I love Aldi but I miss HEB even more.

Or for the rest of your items listed. A block of cheese here is between $4 & $5! I was super hopeful when I came upon your meal plan - but its a def no go for us.

I am dismayed at the disparity between our two locations. For a pound of ground turkey I would have to pay almost $5, so ground turkey is out of my budget. Olive oil, nearly $8, a block of cheddar cheese (the small block), close to $5. I don't even live in hollywood, I'm up in the mountains, far removed from the superficial bustle of "california life." How depressing, hahaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7308600452665644986.post-65665963026486635652017-05-16T08:53:54.486-05:002017-05-16T08:53:54.486-05:00We are a family of 4!

I usually have a list of all the standard items I buy, like sour cream, butter, cheese, etc. We are also feeding a d.family of 5, sometimes 6 or 7. It just depends on the amount of kids attached to our kids. My budget for the month is about 500 right now. We also have 2 or 3 that pack regularly. Sometimes it's higher. I buy in bulk and watch sales religiously. I'd love to chat some more with you about shopping at Aldi. We have two gluten free people as well.
