re: What are you grocery bills like lately? (Include # in household please)

Family of four and you’re paying $1,200 a month on groceries AND you’re still eating out??? What the frick are you buying at the store? I feed my family if four for around $600 a month and probably $150 a month in eating out. Are you cooking steaks three nights a week or something?

Single dude. I keep it real low. Maybe under 100 a week, not positive

1
$1,400/month

At least double as long as only food items

Or people who want to eat cheaply since that is one of the points of the thread. Things are getting more expensive so this thread makes sense on ways to save

80/20 ground beef this week is $2.99 at kroger near me. You can buy a pasta for $1.50 and a pre-made pretty good sauce for $6. I also throw some frozen broccoli in. I eat all of that over 3 meals.

I'm not lambasting you just saying that seems like double what I would think it would be to make some dinners You can buy pork chops for less than $4 a pound and potatoes/rice are always cheap. Buy some green veggies and you are done.

I would think you can do good meals for 4 for $15. You won't be eating what you want every meal but you can do good proteins with carbs and veggies for that price

One

$100 a week

Two of us now 800 month

Mostly paper I get e receipts at Whole Foods but nothing crazy like holograms or QR codes receipts

A month?

I spent that on lunch today for me and two friends

We don't eat out often and when we do, it's rarely fine dining. We have money to eat out, it's just that I'd rather spend my money on travel.
