The cost of healthy eating

Image
Being on a super tight income stinks when it comes to trying to eat healthy.  It is nearly impossible to keep everybody fed well on "healthy" food. Let's try and come up with a healthy meal that can feed a family of 5 on $5 a day.  I'd love to hear suggestions. The budget allows approximately $1 for breakfast.  Dinner for $5. Approximately $80 to feed a family of 5 breakfast and dinner for 2 weeks. First of all, some guidelines. Nothing pre-made, boxed, or packaged.  It contains soy. There is a severe soy allergy in this family. There are a lot of budgeting and or large family bloggers out there that make food stretch.  Just remember the soy allergy.  If we could get a snack in for the children, that would be wonderful. What would you do for a weekly menu on a $40 budget? I look forward to reading the suggestions! Be Blessed~ Michelle
