[quote=Anonymous]Unless we do carry out like Crisp and Juicy (family meal of a whole chicken and three sides for $20), we spend about $40-$50 as a family of three if we go out to a restaurant. Our child eats like an adult. In contrast, we shop once a week (aside from a few small trips here and there) and spend between $150-$200. This is for breakfast, lunches (no one buys lunch), dinner, and snacks. Three to four meals out for us is our entirely grocery budget. We also don't eat or buy a ton of meat, and when we do eat meat, we don't eat a pound of something in one meal - we divide up a pound of ground turkey for two meals, for example, or use three large chicken breasts for two meals. We also buy nearly all organic everything, so what we spend could be cut even further if you dont' care about that stuff. [/quote]
