I budget roughly $25/month for my church food bank.

I try to maximize value by buying non-perishables on-sale.

Last week it was cans of tuna and Chef Boyardee pasta for $0.98.

This week Heinz pastas for $0.88 and 12-pak cases of Kraft Dinner for $5.99.

Keep you eyes open to deals in the weekly flyers - Food Basics and Fresh Co are particularly good for this.
