Feeding Family on $40 a Week

The Chicago Sun-Times reports:
Brenda Bromfield of west suburban Woodridge has become such a skilled shopper, she can come up with a coupon or a bulk bargain buy on nearly everything.

Her grocery bill is $40 a week to feed herself, husband Jim, 9-year-old daughter Madison and 6-year-old son Ian.


Bromfield, 41, posted a notice in the newsletter of her church, First United Methodist in Downers Grove, asking fellow parishioners to give her unwanted coupons.
