i recently have been getting positive feedbacks from my li'l sis about being more prepared. however, she's in the same posiiton now since her dh was out of work for 4 months. both her checks go to paying the mortgage, tuition, and car.
so i came up with a plan for her to save food for her family of four for $7/person/month. being that there are 4 people in that family it would be $7 x 4 = $28.00 the place to shop would be the dollar store (99cents only store). each dollar would represent a different part of a balanced diet.

1. grains
2. legumes/proteins
3. vegetables/soups
4. fruits
5. dairy/liquids
6. fats/oils/sweets
7. baked goods
now, everyone gets input as to what they want. they can either buy the same thing the same month, or buy something different apart from everyone else.
also added was an EXTRA section
a. health/hygiene
b. home
c. security
