I can’t tell you how to meal plan for your family. This is just a guide and an account of what I have done within my own family. I’m going to give you examples from two previous weeks so you can get an idea of what we eat and how it all comes together. I’ve had a couple of questions regarding meal planning with my food budget.

When I cook meals, I do cook for 4-5 normal appetites, despite the fact that baby is eating home-prepared purees and not the larger family meal as yet.I applaud those ladies out there who commented that they actually do their weekly food budget on even less and with larger numbers of people.Should I have more children and as my children get older, the budget will need to be expanded, and the hope is that we will be able to afford it A budget that suits a couple with two small children would not suit a larger family.

It is a personal account of how I manage to keep the budget as such it’s not aimed at telling you what you should do.These are just ideas that you can use, should you want to.I have a couple of points and notes to make: My previous piece on how I keep my family’s weekly food budget at $90 garnered a lot of responses and comments on the Mamabake Facebook page.
