My grocery budget is $1,000/month for a household of 3. We were spending $1.200-1,400/month at times before I started keeping a closer eye on things and trying to stick to a budget. This doesn't include eating out
You must be wasting MASSIVE amounts of food. $1000 a month on food is on the high end for a household of 6. Even if you postmates $30 every weekday that's still only $600 or so for the month. Are you really spending $400 on cereal, milk, coffee, pancakes and beverages?

Do you have a cite for this?

$1.85 per person per meal assuming no dining out?
I’m not saying it isn’t possible to do but I just don’t think it’s unusual for a family of 4 to spend north of $1500 per month. Especially busy families with two working parents who can’t cook all the time.
I also have to laugh at the poster suggest I am wasting food and then recommends Costco so we can buy food in bulk and waste even more food.
