What I Actually Spent on Groceries vs. USDA Food Budget | Week #4 USDA Grocery Budgets

Dec 1 | YouTube Videos

How much does it really cost to feed a family? The 4th in a series of week-long grocery hauls with meal plans for my family of 5, with cost and comparison to USDA budget recommendations.

Week #1: https://youtu.be/1KbkOKfrDeg?si=61TcEKHeBgJdjozQ
Week #2: https://youtu.be/MPQgLAx_Mxc?si=7WJmr-T9DggF5g7F
Week #3: https://youtu.be/cZud0EOckCY?si=3CtKgy6N7JcUfBkH

*I used my slow cooker with the saute function so I could brown the ground beef, and simmer the broth with the beer in it before changing it over to slow cook function. I might just sub beef broth next time for the beer.
