I’m pregnant with #2 and husband and I are stressed about finances. We’d been half assing paying off our debt and now we have approx 7 months to pay off $6k so that I can stay home with both kids come June. We can’t afford daycare.
We live pretty modestly and have never lived extravagantly, but I had a medical issue earlier this year that cost about $5k. We were one month away from having everything else paid off. It’s infuriating, but such is life.
I had to be on a strict paleo type diet for my health and have just recently started reintroducing things. So I can’t do pasta and rice all the time...which is unfortunate because that’s cheap. One area we need to be extremely careful in over the next few month is our grocery bill.
There are 3 of us, husband, 3yo, and my pregnant self. Can I feed us on $80/week? We have aldi, Kroger, and Walmart. (I ❤️ Aldi)
Meal suggestions appreciated! Obviously I need a little more nutrition than usual. I’m 11w along.
Current diet restrictions: soy & gluten. Everything else has been reintroduced successfully, just haven’t tried much in the way of wheat.
Also, have a super picky toddler. We try to do the whole “this is what’s for dinner, eat it or don’t” routine, but I’m so exhausted with this pregnancy I just don’t have it in me to fight a stubborn toddler. Any advice there is welcome too ;-)
Thanks!
Edit: forgot to add soy restriction
