MENUS  
These menus are not rigid guides and can be used in  
any order. They give suggestions for thrifty food  
choices and healthy ways to prepare foods. The foods  
used in the menus are a variety of commonly eaten  
meats, milk products, vegetables, fruits, grain  
products, and mixed dishes.  
The daily menus show how you can combine a  
larger amount of less expensive foods, such as dry  
beans and grain products, with a smaller amount of  
meats, poultry, and fish. Some convenience or ready-  
to-eat food items are included in the menus.  
However, many of the foods are prepared from  
“scratch” to keep cost as low as possible.  
These menus and recipes are designed for a healthy  
four-person family. The amount listed after each food  
item is the total amount for a family with two adults  
and two children 6 to 11 years old.
