👶 Moving, Baby & Budget: How We’re Saving Big on Food

Moving away with a 4-month-old and juggling formula costs ($100/month 😳), we had to get super smart about food. My fiancé prefers classic “meat and potatoes” meals, so I focus on filling, affordable staples like beans, rice, potatoes, and versatile proteins—think chicken thighs, ground beef, and eggs. Big batch cooking is a lifesaver: stews, chili, casseroles, and roasted veggies (minus the greens and peppers!) all stretch across multiple meals. I also rely on sales and bulk buys, freezing extras for busy weeks. If you’re in Texas and looking for budget meal ideas that keep your family full without breaking the bank, I’m all ears! What’s your favorite cheap and hearty meal? “Saving smart, feeding full — one meal at a time.” #BudgetFamilyMeals #TexasFoodie #MeatAndPotatoesLife #BabyOnABudget #MealPrepMagic
