The Bare Bones Grocery Challenge Shopping List
Using the original shopping list and menu plan as a base I have over the years come up with my own $20 a week grocery list and menu. This does of course rely on having some food in the pantry and fridge although they are mainly sauces, herbs and baking supplies.
If your cupboards and fridge are already bare this shopping list will get you through the week. It is a very basic list and not at all something I would recommend as a long term eating plan but for a week to save money and use up food you have it works.

These prices are Aldi prices and the whole list cost just $26.10!
Although the prices may not be as low where you live, there are many ways to bring down the amount spent on groceries.
This shopping list provides enough basics for a family of four for one week. It’s not gourmet cooking but it is filling, tasty and almost nutritional.
