[quote=Anonymous]My family is in the process of cutting down food costs (and all costs, since we're going down to one income soon). This month we're tracking all expenses. Looks like we'll be at around $500 for food groceries. We're a family of four with the kids being 1 and 3. We have not eaten out, so the food groceries are the whole food cost. We have tracked non food grocery items separately. We like to eat organic and pasture raised animal foods. Eggs are the cheapest way to go for that kind of thing. Even at almost $4 a dozen, that's a lot of good food for the money. I roast an organic chicken about every other week. After picking all the meat off the carcass, I make stock. This is a great way to enrich other foods we're eating. A very simple soup, made with rich homemade stock, can be truly fabulous.[/quote]
