    Exclamation This Mother Takes the Budget Cake - 46 Family of 4 Meals for $95!

    If I'm correct we're not supposed to post links here, but I'm going to break the rule. I picked up on this lady from an article in The Consumerist (which you should also try). She's a mother of two with a hungry hubby and runs a food blog named "A Turtle's Life for Me." In her linked post, she describes how she shops and cooks so as to be able to make 46 tasty, nutritious meals for her family of four, paying out $95 for all 46 meals. I don't think I could do this with our local supermarkets, but it still blows me away. Take a look yourself:

    That's interesting. She has hit a very cheap supermarket. Yesterday I spent $216. for just two of us. I don't think I'd like all my meals from the freeze. I'm getting away from that. Just found a lot of flavour loss. Besides I like to cook.

    I have to agree with you, but I still think her stunt is remarkable and amazing.
