re: Family budget question re: groceries/food/consumables

I have a family of four, though my kids are older, and we budget about $200 per week, which comes out to almost $1000 per month. Some months we're over, some we're under, but usually right around that number. We do better when we make a supper menu for the week and make a big trip to the store on Sunday. We do worse when we make 2-3 trips to the store in one week.

We don't eat out all that much either. Maybe 3 or 4 times a month.
