Before Randy and Stacey Newbern hit the grocery store in their west Georgia home, Stacey plans the menu for the week and only buys the ingredients she'll need for those meals. They feed a family of 10 on a food budget of $230-$250 per week.

Family of 10! I lived with a family of 9. My parents (non catholics) had 7 children. My husband's family (catholics) had 7 children. If anyone needs a few relative, I have a few too many! If I had that many children, we'd definitely have a garden.

Right now, I'm growing tomatoes, squash, and some herbs. I planted tomatoes on the edge of our property for my neighbors, also.

I mention Catholics only because that's the first question everyone asks!!!!

I would love to have a garden but I am so afraid of snakes. There are only 4 in my household but I still feel the pinch. We are picky eaters so there is not a variety of things to try to lighten the load.
