Groceries $550 a month
Eating out $150-200 (dinner usually $35-50 once per week or pizza/Chinese in the same week) DH works from home so makes his lunch and I bring mine to work except 1-2 times a month. |

Oops - should have added, family of 4 - kids are 4 and 12, we buy 2 gallons of almond milk a week which is like $20 of the weekly groceries. |

Wow I'm impressed. For groceries, do you shop at Aldi's, TJ, etc. and coupon/search for sales? Our food spending is outrageous so I'm trying to figure out how to scale it back. One Costco trip alone is over $200. |

Minimum $1200 a month for groceries, some months $1500. 2 teenage boys, who between them go through a gallon of organic milk a day. Plus me and DH!
The boys eat 5 meals a day! Breakfast, lunch, after school (more of a meal than snack), dinner, and after practice meal (both are athletes). |

Around $1000.
Family of 2 adults and 4 kids ranging from 8 months - 10 years old. We are vegetarian and pack all lunches. All breakfasts and dinners are cooked from scratch at home aside from once or twice a month take out. It feels like a huge expense I know will only increase as our kids get older. |

| $400 or so, for one adult and two small children. Light breakfasts, lots of fruit/cheese/nut snacks, and lunch is provided by my children's daycare. I manage a cafe and don't pay for coffee, and eat food from work. We eat out once or twice a month (~$50-$75). |
