[quote=Anonymous]My goal is $200/week for four (tween and a teen, but girls), it is not uncommon to spend between 225-250. This is food only, I track house goods separately. When we serve steak or fish it is about $20 for the protein, less when we do hamburgers or chicken. I meal plan and try and balance it out and make enough extra for a couple of leftover nights or lunches. We pack lunches and have reduced our eating out to once every two weeks so that is for all meals. I shop multiple stores because I have a lot of preferences to manage, so usually Trader Joe’s, Whole Foods and Safeway/Giant. A great website I was referenced to on here for recipes is budget bytes, good food and she prices each meal out really well. Quiche is another good protein that is tasty and cost effective. I will make two at a time. [/quote]
