    I am spending around $900-$1,000 a month for 3 adults and 3 kids. Also we have 6 cats (don't ask) and 2 dogs that are included in that! I have used Angelfood Ministries in the past and plan on starting back with them again. The food is always really good and it is SO cheap :o) Check it out to see if there is a pick-up close to you:

    They also have a fresh produce package that has always been super :o)

    Wow...I'm shocked by alot of the numbers on here...I spend about 350 for the month for a family of 5...Do all of your shopping at the closest Aldi to ya...if you have one! And for those HAVE TO HAVE items that Aldi doesn't have, I suggest signing up for Grocerygame.com . She lines up current circulated coupons with your local grocery stores for you to maximize your shopping dollars. Several people save between 30 and 70 % on their shopping bills.

    I'm shocked too! I thought everything was cheaper in the States, but the figures here seem really similar to the UK. We spend about £50 ($80) a week, including non food items, for the two of us and our 3 year old. We eat out on top of that, but seldom more than once a week. One saving we have is that I don't see meat as the centre of a meal (not having eaten any for years), so for some meals we just have eggs or beans. We buy whichever fruit/veg is a good deal and frozen veg, which is cheaper and easier. Our eggs are free range, milk organic, but we buy economy lines too..

    Has there been a lot of inflation in the States, or did I always have the wrong impression)
