Feed a family of four for $100 a week -- no coupons, no backyard garden or mystery meat.
That was the challenge MSN Money gave me (and, indirectly, my husband and two children).
I knew it wouldn't be easy. Even a food stamp allowance for a family of four is $117. With gas and corn prices surging, the retail costs of basic items such as milk, apples, pork chops and potatoes have gone up 8.5% in the past year, according to the most recent American Farm Bureau Federation's Marketbasket Survey.

It is hard to live on $100 worth of groceries a week for a family of four people. Food prices are always increasing and we need good nutrition for our body.

It's practically impossible to feed a family of four with only $100 of groceries. My groceries for me alone is nearly $60/week. Imagine multiplying that buy four.
