[quote=Anonymous]We are a family of 3, soon to be 4. We have been looking for ways to lower our expenses and realized we have been spending way too much money on groceries. We do have a Costco membership, but a tiny fridge and can't possibly fit tons of frozen meat in it. We are going to get a horizontal freezer in the future, but right now we have nowhere to put it (freezer and laundry will go to the basement once the electrical/plumbing part is done.)
So I'm wondering if we actually do spend too much or if it's normal and we just need to suck it up for now. How many people do you have in your house and how much do you spend a month? Any saving tips you can give would be appreciated.

If it helps, both of us work full time and pack lunch. I pack breakfast, as well as lunch for DD. We have dinner at home daily and don't mind having "quick dinners" a couple of times a week (like hotdogs, for example.) I am the designated cook and I not only work till 5, I also have to get DD from school and make dinner. I also take online classes, so I avoid spending so much time/energy on cooking, mostly putting something in the crockpot in the morning and making quick sides when I get home (from frozen vegetables or boxed rice/mashed potatoes.)
