Walmart pick up kept our groceries to $44 for a week for a family of 4! It can be done!

See how much you need for food and gas and the rest save it till next paycheck or for kids. Or 100$ per week

Meal plan around pantry/freezer items, plan trips to minimize gas usage, remind the kids we’re working towards goals that require sacrifices in the short-term.

Sandwichs, Tuna helper, hot dogs, eggs/pancakes for dinner ideas that are cheap and easy!

You don’t have to have sinking funds. Some paychecks I have them. Some I don’t. I don’t sacrifice essentials to have sinking funds.
