I'm in! The kids start summer vacation next week. My goal this summer is to spend as little as possible.

Please post everything you buy for the week, because I am dying to know how anyone could get a weeks worth of groceries for $50.00. There is just no way I could do that! I would LOVE to be able to, but I just don't see how I could do it with 5 mouths to feed.

I'll try, why not. If nothing else, I'll still spend less than normally.

I just told dh about my plans to do this and asked him if he thought we could still eat well on $50 a week for groceries. His reply? "Sure, we'll just eat out a lot."

I'm going to prove to him that we can eat well AT HOME for $50/week!

I am in also. However, I will let you know that next week I order Angel Food and that will be my $50 right off the bat. I will be ordering the main unit and the meat bundle.
