[...] it last night, though, and it was heavenly.). $56.58 was my total at Aldi, which puts me at $90.02. I told you all last week that I was trying for $82, and while I didn’t meet that goal, I was sort of close, much closer than I would have been [...]

I made your thin crust pizza the other day and blogged about it. I made it with half applesauce and half oil. It turned out amazing. I made personal size pizzas for my husband and I because we didn’t have any parchment paper in the house. I will be using this recipe again and again!! Thanks for posting it.

I noticed that your daughter likes sweet potatoes for breakfast. We just found an awesome deal on sweet potatos and thought to pass on our recent find. Have you ever went to a local farm to get those? You can often find sweet potato seconds in bins seperate from the regularly priced produce. Just last weekend, we bought a 1/2 busshel of sweet potatoes seconds for $4.00. We also bought 1/2 busshel of tomato seconds for $2.00. The only thing I could find wrong with the “seconds” is that the potatos and tomatos were a little bigger than your average size. Okay, some of them were HUGE.

I would suggest making a batch or 2 of pancakes ahead of time and freeze them, and your husband can heat them in the toaster and eat them in the same time it takes to have that bowl of cereal, and it is less expensive.

That is awesome that you line your day up with your hubby’s! I do that too, it’s so nice to see him before he leaves for the day.

What I really want to comment on though is your crust recipe, it’s amazing! Hubby wonders why we ever “bought” pizza. Thank you so much!!! =)

I’m so jealous!!! How in the world do you feed a family on only $90/week. That is awesome! I’ll be checking out your site, but any suggestions. I already shop Aldi’s for staples and Weis for the meats and name brand stuff. Help

That is an insane amount of food for that price!! In Canada, the milk alone would have cost $18 or more!!

I’m very impressed…. your menu looks great!
