So in addition to eating out as little as possible over the next 4 weeks, my target is to spend $800 on groceries, which I'm told is a reasonable figure for a family of four in Ottawa. I don't know that I'll achieve that this time around, but I'll gather relevant data, anyway.
To Eat during Week One
Beef and spinach rice (Canadian Living Feb 2014)
Stewed kale and lentils
Butternut squash soup
Blueberry muffins
Tuna salad and "power bars" for work snacks
Beef bourguignon from freezer
Groceries so far:
~$85 on non-recipe goods (kids/staples)
~$75 on recipes
Target of $800 per month = $26.67 per day = $8.89 per meal, or $2.22 per serving.
That's a little intimidating, but breakfast should help shave that down a bit (considering that the muffins, for instance, being made mostly from pantry staples, cost $0.58 apiece).
