Help with grocery list and budgeting...!


Question: Help with grocery list and budgeting!.!.!.
I need to make a grocery list to last us for 6-7 days!. I need the list to be around $50 or under- this can go over a bit- just trying to keep it as low as possible!. There are three of us but my husband eats enough to make it like we are really feeding 4 or 5!. I can cook anything- really good at homemade stuff too- so nothing is off limits there!. However- the husband hates Ramen noodles, doesn't eat soup, and we don't have to have a lot of meat either!. Assuming that I have nothing on hand currently( I do have spices) please help me with some grocery planning for the week!! Thanks in advance!Www@FoodAQ@Com

One of my favorite cheap meals is a baked potato with canned chili poured over it and a green salad!. Maybe one of these links will have something that sounds good-

I am having problems budgeting too and I live alone!. This list would run around $40!.00 to $50!.00 in FL where I live!. Just the basics that will last you a while!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

First of all, I would get sales papers from your local grocery stores!. See what is on sale and plan your meals around those things!. Some things that I make when money is tight include the following!.
1!. Pasta salad
2!. spaghetti (meatless is super cheap)
3!. bean burritos w/ spanish rice
4 S!.O!.S!. (creamed chipped beef on toast)
5!. egg salad
6!. Breakfast (french toast and pancakes are really cheap and so is scrambled eggs and toast w/ fried potatoes!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
