[quote=Anonymous]Just saw a poll on MSN that said the average American spends $12/day on groceries. I thought this was interesting. So we are a family of 4, so that would be $12 x 4 people x 30 days is $1,440 per month in groceries. My family of 4 struggles to stay within our $1,100/month budget and often go over. In my research to save money at the grocery store, I found websites for $10 meals for 4 people. (These websites don't take into consideration my sons' appetite's! but anyway... I think it's hard to do better than $10 per meal and even this is $10 per meal is...3 meals a day...30 days a month is $900 a month on groceries. Now this doesn't even count....toiletries, medicine, cleaning supplies, and other things we buy at the grocery store, so I'm actually pretty happy with our $1,100/month budget but I remember reading posts in other threads saying their grocery budget was like $800-$850/month. How the heck do you get it that low? No kids?[/quote]
