I used to panic every Sunday about what we’d eat for the week. Then I started planning based on sales and bulk buys. Last week, $20 got us pasta with tomato sauce, a big batch of chili, and a few frozen veggie sides. Buying store-brand pasta, frozen beans, and whatever meat was cheapest didn’t feel glamorous, but it fed my family without leaving me stressed or broke. Cooking in big batches and freezing portions saved us time, and the kids actually liked some of the leftovers — though they’d never admit it. #Food #BudgetMeals
