While I am taking part in my $50 a month spent on food grocery challenge, I will be documenting what I eat each week. Some people have expressed concerns that I can't possible eat enough on just $50 a month. I hope this type of documentation puts their fears to rest.

Because I dont see many of these items on your grocery lists, you must have a well stocked freezer and fridge.
ReplyDeleteYa I see. Good idea. Be sure not to become anemic. A vitamin daily may help.
ReplyDeleteMaureen, a lot of the stuff I had bought this month - eggs, bacon, chicken, broccoli, eggs, lettuce, tomatoes, fruit, cereal, milk, mac and cheese etc. The shrimp, apple sauce, PB, fish, and American cheese I already had. I actually have a lot of applesauce because I can my own in the fall... and I have lots of fish in the freezer because I love fish so I try to keep a variety on hand.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous, I am intrigued... why do you think I could be at risk for anemia. Should I be adding something else into my diet? I do eat red meat occasionally... anything else?
Iron rich foods. There are good lists on the net. Very few people get enough and can get cancer ect.. Good luck. I had it so I know. It makes you tired and you get sick easier.
