We are trying to stick to a grocery budget of $283 for the five us for the month of November. We haven’t gone that low in a very long time (we usually spend $400 to $450 for groceries), so this is going to be interesting. I will be relying heavily on items already in the freezer.

Hi,
I love this blog and find the suggestions and recipes to be great. My family and I have to shave off 200 hundred dollars off our grocery bill this month because I had this amount stolen from my purse this week and there is nowhere else to take it from but the grocery budget, but my pantry and freezer are full, just need to get creative and use up what we have on hand.

That’s terrible! Thank goodness your freezer is stocked.
The sweet potato waffles are similar to the pumpkin pancakes I made over the weekend. I love almond milk, so maybe I’ll use that as a substitute in the pancakes the next time I make them.
Love pumpkin pancakes!
