a challenge... Can you feed a family of four 6 days on 25 bucks?

[greenbriar]

I am going to try...



growing up, my dad worked at an aircraft plant in Wichita...Beechcraft he didn't make the big bucks like those at Boeing but he worked hard.

There were 6 children plus Mom and dad. We lived in a crappy house, but we kept it clean and it was ours...We each had our own room and they were big.


Every friday daddy would hand mom the grocery money ...probably 25 bucks which was HUGE in the 70's and she would come back with bags of groceries...

You could tell what day of the week it was by what we had for dinner

Sunday was potroast with potatos and carrots and creamstyle corn

Monday was some kind of fish...fishsticks, mackeral patties or salmon loaf with fried potatos and kidney beans.


Tuesday was ham and beans and cornbread

Wed was meatloaf and baked potatos with Greenbeans

Thursday was Fried Chicken mashed potatos and gravy with cream style corn

Friday she would go to the burger joint or the taco place and we got ONE burger or taco burger

Saturday was fend for yourself


I realize now, that she had the money down to a T


Can it be done today?
