When you have a large family to feed and you are living on a tight budget, going to the grocery store seems overwhelming. You can buy fresh produce in bulk and a few other things that can be enjoyed through out the week will stay fresh in their clam shell packaging.
A large bag of apples, oranges, potatoes, onions, and carrots
A large package of berries.
A big box of eggs
5 cucumbers
4 loaves of bread
Large tub of cottage cheese and yogurt
Fish, chicken thighs, and red meat can be quite inexpensive, look around the meat case for deals!
Another thing that helps our family stay on budget, only shop the perimeter of your grocery store!
