[quote=Anonymous]Family of 5, and my best guess is we spend appx $1500/mo. on food. Since January 2023, we stopped going out to eat or doing takeout for the most part when it is us alone (just our family of 5) - except for on vacation and special occasions. We will do take out or dine out socially with others - that’s not something I was interesting in giving up. It sounds like you’re regularly doing 3 nights a week of takeout. You could try cutting to 2, for a while and then later to 1. We try to use up what we have in the house. I see what we have before making the grocery list and try to do some meals that involve some things we already have on hand. I have been freezing more things before they go bad if it doesn’t seem like we will finish them. I am not up to doing yet this but the people who really their spending on track have an inventory of their pantry and freezer items. [/quote]
