[quote=Anonymous]I have been trying to stick to $1000 a month for two adults and two young teenagers -- this is a grocery store budget that includes things like toilet paper, detergent, etc. This is a real stretch for me. I cook almost every night but we do use some convenience foods for busy nights with two sports practices, etc. and honestly, the amount of milk we go through is just amazing -- I think it's 8 gallons a month! We are also trying to manage weight issues. I've found that the thing that works is to make a menu for the week, shop ONCE, and other than things like milk, don't shop again until the following week's trip. If we run out, we run out. [/quote]
