As we're heading into the new year, the Shopping Nanny is definitely doing her part to help your family save money. With that in mind, she will be creating menus and sharing recipes that will help you save money while still eating good, healthy meals all week.
The Nanny's "Budget Menu" is designed to feed a family of four for an entire week for significantly less than $100. She knows everyone's budget is tight,
so eat well and enjoy...For a lot Less!

The recipes and menus will be available here on the shopping nanny blog, and there will be complete shopping lists for each menu under the "Nanny's Lists" section on the shopping list page of our website. If you want to make some changes to the menu, just open up the Nanny's list, delete the items you don't need, add other items you enjoy, and your nanny will find you the best deals on everything!
