Some weeks you will have leftover change. Save the change each week in a kitty to be used for the weeks you may exceed $5.00 (for example, as when purchasing wheat or milk). This should be enough to sustain 2 people for 1 year. For every 2 people in your family, add $5 more and double or triple the amount of the item you are buying for that week.
