How can I make $20 in grocery last two weeks

[verbalkint]

Honestly pretty doable if you eat wisely. Some cheap chicken cuts anywhere between 50 cents and a $1/lb. A bag of rice. Some frozen veggies. Keep yourself to 2pieces of chicken per meal. A box of oatmeal for your breakfasts. Don't even glance at a takeout menu.

I was thinking of noodles. Some chili to make chili dogs, and frozen fries. that can last me around a week.

buy dry beans and rice. spend some money on a meat to mix with the beans and rice. some bananas for breakfast or oranges

You can go to wal-mart and buy rice, noodles, and some spagetti sauce for $1 a piece. I think dry beans like kidney beans and a loaf of bread cost less $1.50 a piece. I don't know how much meat cost in your city but I can buy 3lb pack of ground turkey for less than $8 and 10lb bag of chicken for under $8.

Wal-mart sometimes have meat discounted especially before the truck comes in to restock the store on Wednesday.

LOL!! If you are desperate Wal-mart in my area sell a 10lb bag of chicken (about 10 leg quarter) for $8.00. I see it all the time in the store.

There's a thing called the food stamp challenge


What I would recommend is that you use heavy coupons as well as stack up on rice as well. It's cheap and last longer.

These are just some examples

bread, water and some ground turkey

Rice is your friend.

3 lb bag of potatoes - approx. $5
