Overheard someone say they feed 4 people on $50 a week and I'm calling BS
I was standing in line at Aldi last Saturday and this woman in front of me was bragging on the phone about how she feeds her family of 4 on $50 a week. Like lady, I run a moving crew and we eat through snacks like crazy, but even for a normal family that math doesn't add up. I get that you can do rice, beans, and bulk chicken if you really stretch it, but $50 for 4 people for 7 days means you're eating about $1.78 per person per day. That barely covers a loaf of decent bread and some peanut butter around here in Cleveland. I wanted to ask her what her secret was but honestly I think she was just exaggerating for internet points. Has anyone actually tried to do a $50 weekly budget for a family and had it work out without feeling like you're starving?
