I'm planning an extreme grocery budget challenge where I'll be eating for $20 for the week. I'm planning frugal meals to save money on groceries. I'll be doing some healthy meal prep to save time with my meals. In this Aldi grocery haul I'll be reusing ingredients across meals. This meal plan can be doubled or tripled to feed a family on a budget.
