Is the $75 budget workable for gluten, dairy and sugar free diets?

$75 a week?!! food is much more expensive in Canada…maybe close to twice the price?? for a while we were able to $125 a week but with all our food sensitivities/allergies and trying to buy organic as much as possible we are now between &250-$300 a week! (and I buy bulk and do most things from scratch…no packaged/pre made foods!) we just moved to an area where you can grow food in abundance outdoors…I was able to get most of our produce at the market for $40, which was a huge savings!
I will join the “challenge” (Canadian addition) and see if we can do $150 a week….I need to learn to make my own yogurt and soy/rice milk!!

Opps, I do not have a website, and linked my email and don’t know how to remove it from Mister Linky?
Anyway purchased the book over the weekend so far all the recipes I have tried have all gotten rave reviews from my bunch, especially the rice cooker oatmeal. I never thought of using it for oatmeal, comes out yummy! Thanks for sharing such wonderful ideas with us! Ps Does anyone have any ideas for keeping cost down with a brand loyal Hubby?

Just signed up, but it will be very hard as our deep freezer was left open one day and we lost three shelves full of food!!!
Here’s my first weeks plan, scan the site and you’ll see my first shopping trip total too!

Just found you from life as mom, and I like this idea! If you can do it with 10 kids, I should be able to with only 4!!!
