Every so often, I look up this particular article online. It's helped me a lot over the years with buying groceries when you "think" you are too broke to eat!
I've seen similar articles, but they all amount to one basic thing - how to buy dirt cheap groceries when you're pretty much at the end of your budget and payday is at least a week away. The list they give is minimal. There are no steaks or big meats listed. It's just basic food that will get you through three meals a day for a few days.
Another article shows you steps for feeding yourself for $15 a week. The tips are very good and even if you only use part of them, you'll save money.
There is also a well-written article on Hillbilly Housewife that shares not only how to feed a family on around $40 a week in groceries, but also gives recipes you can download.
Because I live alone, I actually can get by on just the $10 or $15 a week grocery list. However, like anyone, it takes careful planning to make it work, and using everything to its fullest. It also means having a few staples on hand, such as dehydrated herbs and vegetables, so your menu isn't too boring.
