Yes, they are! I got them off Amazon, and the brand is called Squooshi

Don't skip the babyfood, just make your own. It's cheaper and healthier than the jarred stuff. Get a Beaba (used if you can find it) and ice cube trays to freeze your purees in appropriate portions. I found it only took about an hour or two of cooking on the weekends to make and freeze large batches of babyfood that kept my kid eating a variety of healthy food for weeks.
I definitely had a doctor recommend that baby eats whatever we eat but she said to run big stuff through a food mill like this https://www.amazon.ca/Munchkin-13701-Baby-Grinder-Colors/dp/B000GB0NZA/ref=sr_1_12?ie=UTF8&qid=1502907439&sr=8-12&keywords=Food+mill
The best thing I found was this. A food processor or the like is great for making massive amounts of puree at once. But have you ever mashed a whole sweet potato and divided it into an ice cube tray? One potato makes enough baby food to last months. This gizmo let me make just enough for a meal or two. I could mash up some of whatever I was already cooking or steam something separately. It wasn't such a big production to use or clean. Highly recommend.
Les couvertures ça sert toujours ; les bavoirs fantaisie, en tout cas chez nous, moins : un bavoir, faut que ça soit sobre, absorbant, grand et efficace, et les petits points de croix ou autre bidules ne servent qu'à accrocher le beurk et à irriter la peau du bébé.
Cela dit, le fait soi-même, c'est super.
En cadeaux à acheter, néanmoins :
Quand tu voudras savoir quoi lui offrir pour son premier anniversaire, fais signe, je détiens aussi cette vérité-là.
I have this. All in one!

I also bought a thingy that enables you to make your own pouches of baby food (made by Infantino i think) and some freezer trays.
Get a portable baby food grinder
Pregnancy: Liked Old Navy Maternity I loved wearing foldover waist things like capri pants, skirts, and pants. Though for work I was able to keep wearing my pre-pregnancy pants as my fat redistributed and they are elastic waist anyway. And the Old Navy Maternity tank tops are amazing, I still wear them after giving birth. I also wore Poise pads to catch my pee leaks, they worked great.
Did not like Ginger gum, that shit's gross.
Postpartum: Liked Kotex pads. The squirt bottle they gave me at the hospital. Colace.
Did not like Always pads (fucking cheese grater). Those witch hazel pads didn't do much for me, neither did the numbing cream.
Baby Like Pampers Baby Dry diapers, Fisher Price Rock and Play, Nosefrida snotsucker, Fisher Price plug in swing, Chicco Keyfit 30, Chicco NextFit, Harmony Odyssey stroller, Infantino pouch feeding products, Vtech baby monitor, Cuisinart food processor, lightweight car seat toys, Ubbi diaper pail, IKEA high chair (I probably have more, but these are some of the things I love on a daily basis or have saved my sanity).
Did not like Swaddle blankets (specifically swaddling), moby wrap, boppy pillow, Graco battery operated swing, huggies diapers, and MAM bottles.
Bonus Mom Supplies Pump wipes (my pump room at work has no sink and these are perfect to use after pumping), leisure bra (I cut holes where my nipples are and I can double pump hands-free, so helpful!), and JuJuBe diaper bag (it's small and cute and I know where everything is now!)
The process for grinding up food was like this:
1: Cook all the food for the meal.
2: Separate all the cooked foods and individually hand chop the foods. Keep separate!
3: Grind the individual foods in a food grinder (food mill).
4: Serve out portions into a industrial blender. Blend the dickens out of it and add water as needed.
In a nursing home environment, each meal had to be custom ground due to dietary needs, allergies and personal preferences.
I'm my experience, personal preferences matter a lot to the elderly. Getting food into an elder can be hard and it's very dangerous to many elders if they restrict their calories (meal skipping). See an onion and you hate onions, decide to skip the meal. Put too much food on a plate and they may stressed and not eat.
(They feel an expectation to eat it all and it stresses them out. This maybe a depression era expectation and may have changed with the boomers.)
With my daughter, we used a baby food mill. It was super easy to use,clean and it lasted for ever.

Not being from out there, I cannot help you for meal plans, apart from one thing: it would be an excellent idea to invest in a baby food processor [such as this one] (http://www.amazon.com/Beaba-Babycook-Baby-Food-Maker/dp/B001LQCOIS/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1415274575&sr=8-7&keywords=baby+blender). There are LOADS on eBay, possibly Craigslist, and if garage sales in Wisconsin are similar to the ones in France, they will be a perfect place to get baby equipment, including the blender, for a small fraction of the price. And we all know that the prices for all of this, brand new, is just totally outrageous.
Why am I suggesting a baby blender? Because you won't have to make a specific meal for your baby when the time for processed food comes. You'll scoop a bit of what you cook for you and your partner, blitz it with the blender, and there you go. This will help you save oodles of cash.
EDIT (to avoid more twisted knickers): that is, of course, if you don't already own a blender or a plunging mixer.
If you're into couponing and cooking from your pantry, [this website might help] (http://fabulesslyfrugal.com/).
I'd need more info as your future way of life to go on searching. Can you cook easily? Can you make your own canned food stocks? Can you even garden? Are you going to live in a flat, a house, the Flinstones' cave...?
Edit n.2 /u/tribs28 just posted this [tip about buying meats] (http://www.reddit.com/r/Frugal/comments/2lhyxb/groceries_meat/). Maybe it could help?
