A guy in line at Aldi said he feeds his family of 4 on $60 a week and I wrote down everything

I was standing behind this older guy at the Aldi on Saturday and he was telling the cashier he spends about $60 a week feeding himself, his wife, and two teenagers, which sounded impossible to me. He said the trick is sticking to the same 6 or 7 meals on rotation so nothing goes bad in the fridge, and he plans the whole week around whatever meat is marked down that day. Does anyone here actually run a tight rotation like that, and how do you keep it from getting boring by Wednesday?
