$25 Weekly Grocery Budget

We have decided to build a Beach Home. We fell in love with a model that was a bit over budget meaning now we have to save for the extra since we put our deposit down. So, for the next 6 months my budget for myself, my son, dogs, and the cat is $300 after bills. This means I have given myself a $25 weekly grocery budget leaving $200 for gas, pet food, and baby needs. Now the big question. What food and meals can I get with just $25? Let me just say the store brand will be your best friend and I’m expecting our second child so some choices are purely out of my craving or what I can just keep down. As my morning sickness gets better my choices will be healthier. Here is my weekly list for this week and the week after.
