My $15 Seven Day Grocery Budget Challenge

With a move to a new home happening in a few weeks and the extra costs that said move will incur, money will be a little tighter this month.  I have been challenged by my husband.  To keep the grocery budget under $15 for all of next week.  Yes, groceries for three people including a teenage boy.  For seven days- This Friday to next Friday.  Under $15.

Oh, I accept. ;)

This will call for a major pantry and freezer raiding.  I will be taking inventory of what I already have on hand later this afternoon.  Then I will try to plan my menu for next week accordingly.  Obviously, a $15 food budget for a week is not something that can be realistically done every week.  I have a feeling that I will be left with a very decimated pantry by next Friday.  But fortunately, next Friday is payday, and I can then replenish my pantry supplies.  

Please follow along with me for the next seven days to see if I own this food budget challenge.  Anyone have any pointers or recipe ideas that they would like to throw my way? ;)
