I'd like to see if I can feed the two of us for one month on a "Thrifty Food Plan" budget using organic food. My friend Rebecca attempts a food "budget of 74.00/week or 320.80/month, the USDA "Thrifty" standard for a family of 2 adults, aged 20-50 years." She's two weeks into her month-long experiment and it seems to be going well. That food looks pretty tasty too. Well done, Rebecca!
