Hey Y'all! I hope you're doing great!
I am excited to share this EXTREME grocery budget video with you!
I sourced all the ingredients for a week's worth of meals for a family from Aldi for less than $50!
I apologize that the quality of this video is a bit spotty in places. I am working on a few upgrades to hopefully help in those areas. Thanks for your patience as I learn and grow the channel and equipment.
Here are a few links for some food banks if you need them--
