The idea behind this challenge is to feed a family of four on $25 or less per week. Some weeks there is enough for more than all the meals that week. Other weeks are a little leaner. But the objective should be to have enough in the house to feed a family of 4 over the course of a month for under $25 a week.
Meijer
Transaction #1
Buy 2 boxes of Jello Gelatin @ $1.20
Use the printable Meijer Mealbox coupons for $1.50/2
Final cost = FREE!!
Buy 2 boxes of Velveeta Shells and Cheese @ $3.34
Use the printable Meijer Mealbox coupons for $2/2
Final cost = $1.34
Buy 2 Miracle Whip @ $2
Use the printable Meijer Mealbox coupons for $2/2
Final cost = $2.00

Double these as much as you want -- Meijer will pay you more than you pay them!
**SPECIAL NOTE: Meijer has a deal right now where you buy 3 Kraft products and you get a coupon for $2 off your next purchase. I went to Meijer last night, and they would not print off $4 in coupons, because I bought all 6 at once. Just buy 3 or 6 Jello, and pay $0.30 each time, and you get $2 off in coupons! Keep doing this until you get all the $2 off coupons you want. But each time you buy three, it needs to be a separate transaction.
