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

I live with SO and we are averaging about $500 a month. Even single I was averaging about that much and using what I cooked (leftover) and the freezer. I have learn to prep the food for the week helps and freeze at least 5 different meals (or have mostly ready in the freezer) for those nights that want to just pick up something due to the time. The crock pot (slow cooker) is a saver too.
