Feed a family for $35 - $100 per week? Melanie is a homesteader, wife and mother. She is also amazing at saving money for her family by following these 10 guidelines.
- Buy in bulk - Melanie stocks up!
- Buy direct from local growers!
- Meal plan! If there is no plan you spend way too much.
- Eat from your pantry. You saved it, now eat it.
- Cook from scratch - including snacks. No more pre-packaged junk.
- Grow a garden. Yes get out there!
- Can, dehydrate and freeze excess produce - PRESERVE THE HARVEST!
- Glean and barter for fruits and veggies you aren’t growing
- Make your own flour and pancake mixes. Pre-mixed goods are expensive.
- Make your own personal care and cleaning products.
Not only is Melanie good at all that. She struggles with physical issues that put her on a special diet. She has learned to adapt to these needs and continue to feed her family very inexpensively focused on good nutrition. Melanie also has a very pleasant personality that she shares on her YouTube Channel called Road To The Farm.
