I think some (many, most?) people hear “$50/week grocery budget” and immediately picture someone living off beans and rice, other struggle meals, or a poorly stocked kitchen. But this is not my reality. I follow a rolling grocery system, which means that I’m able to keep my kitchen well stocked within a simple structure, focusing on versatile ingredients that can be used in 101 different combinations to make whatever it is that I feel like. While most of what I make is from scratch, I’m not buying everything I need for my meals each week (or fortnight) from scratch, and I’m intentional about what I do buy. I buy what I need and use what I have, all while slowly building up my kitchen so that I can always open the cupboards or the fridge and have options.
