How much $$$ on groceries?

I spend about 400-500 a month for two adults and two toddlers. I shop at Aldi for a lot of our food but go to a local grocery store for produce when farmers markets don't have much. We are planning to plant some of our own this season so that will help too.

I plan our meals and I cook in bulk and freeze meals. I don't coupon but I do shop sales.

Fresh foods cost more, but think of it this way, medical bills from eating bad food cost even more than the good, fresh foods I built my first box garden this weekend...hopefull it will help with the insane prices for fresh vegetables and I can control the quality, and what is added to the soil, etc.

Wow...maybe I am better than I thought. I spend less than $400 a month and there is anywhere between 2-6 people to feed. I start my list on what is on sale and build meals around that. I don't by many packaged snacks, usually one or two small things and that is usually only every other week when we have all four kids. I do not use coupons as it leads to me buying stuff I wouldnt normally buy.

My husband and I are lucky. We live next to a grocery store, a cheaper grocery store, and a dollar store.
Our dollar store has a produce and frozen food section as well. So we sometimes get lucky with fresh veggies and fruit and canned goods. We try to stay away from unhealthy frozen meals due to gluten issues. They even have fresh milk and eggs.

Although for most it probably isn't an option, check out your local dollar stores and/or bargain grocery stores.

I spend about $350/month on all groceries for two adults, a toddler, and two doberman pincers. I shop primarily at Costco and the local grocery store.

1. I do all my own baking, thereby paying only $.71 per loaf for whole grain bread. I don't eat as much bread as I used to because I have to take the time to make it first.
2. I make all my legumes from dried rather than canned. It takes a little longer, but I do all my prep on weekends.
3. I buy my meats bulk and re-cut and freeze them myself.
4. I tend to buy only fruits and veggies that are "in season." I have had to learn more recipes to accommodate things like squash that I didn't previously cook with.
5. For whatever reason, Walgreens charges $.75/gallon less for milk consistently than any other grocery store in my area... We drink a lot of milk.

Family of 9 here. I spend about 1400 a month in food. That myself, and 7 kids ages 14 to 2 yrs.

We are a family of 6 and spend about 800$ a month for food. I don't include dog/cat food or toiletries in that. I just shop the perimeter more than anything. I don't use coupons or anything. Buy as little proceed food as possible. I buy things like my Coconut oil on amazon and we also do some stocking trips up to Tucson to go to a Sam's. I meal plan and I know that helps a lot.

Eating healthy here can be pretty pricey though, that's really a lot to do with the location. Getting fresh produce is where all the money goes.

$1000 for us (2 adults, 2 kids aged 10 and 7.) I am very picky about things being organic though so I know that adds a little bit. We don't buy meat but seems I am at the store every 3 days because we run out of produce like mad. No cans, no frozen. I think we eat a lot. Haha We don't have any doctor bills though and I think that is due to eating healthy.

thats a really great idea to only do the "inside ailses" once a month!! totally going to use that:)

We spend from $500 - $600, for a family of four. My boys are young 3 and 5. And I do A LOT of couponing! I probably save us around $150 - $200 a month.

This is does not include eating out, I really wish we could cut back on that.
