Two Weeks. Fifty Bucks. Let’s Go.
When you’ve got $50, a dozen eggs a day from your chickens, and a hungry family counting on you—every dollar becomes a strategy.
I hit the $1.25 Dollar Tree store for staples and built a 2-week meal plan using what I already have: eggs, a bit of chicken, and some local ground beef.
We’re talking:
🍝 Spaghetti nights
🥪 Sloppy joes
🍳 Breakfast-for-dinner
🌽 Rice, beans, soups, and more
Simple meals. Budget friendly. Kid approved.
If you’re pinching pennies too, don’t give up—get creative. I’m cheering you on.
