The $20.00 Food Experiment

This week I am doing a little experiment with my 17 year old daughter, Cassandra.  In order to help her learn the valuable life skill of planning meals and budgeting her food dollars, she is being given $20.00 to buy an entire week's worth of groceries for her own meals, which she must also prepare on her own.  I got this idea from Owlhaven.net.  Wonderful ideas that woman has!  I'll be sharing the rules of this experiment and having Cassandra do a guest post on her experience with this in the Recipes section tomorrow.
