How I feed my family for less than 40€/week #2

thumbnail week2

Last week’s post has been a hit apparently. A lot of you are looking for ideas to vary dinner time so I did it again this week. Wanna know how I feed my family of 3 for less than 40€ a week? Keep reading.

For breakfast, I tried making a brioche, it was a DISASTER. It tasted nothing like brioche but more like a dry bread, we ate it anyway because no waste. The rest of the week, we add either eggs (left from last week) or cereals.

For lunch, you can read here how we generally process. Some things are on the list and don’t appear in the dinner section because we have it for lunch. For instance this week, we also had a mixed salad Saturday for lunch (hence the x2 mozzarella).

Snacks are fruits and/or yogurts!

Now for dinner, you’ll find everything detailed below. The grocery list includes everything I used to make breakfast, lunch, snack and dinner for 7 days! I generally leave a day or two where I don’t really plan because we could be eating outside or be invited to a friend’s house. If we happen to stay home, I’ll make something out of everything that is left in the fridge : a quiche or a stir fry usually does the trick.

If you have a larger family, adapt the quantity of food on the list! But keep in mind that most recipes I make serve 4.
