[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you want to save you need to meal plan, cook from scratch, and cook in bulk. Freeze portions for later. Eliminate extras like coffee or dinner out. [/quote] We do all of this and easily spend over $1k per month. Granted, we are a family of four not three, and two of the four are teens. I just completed my Harris Teeter order for the week and it came to $185 and some change. It'll go down once the eVIC savings kick in after they shop the order and ring it up, but probably just to around $150-160. And I only buy the items on sale that week. I plan all my meals based on the meats on sale that week. We really cut back on eating out now that prices have gone up. We used to eat out Friday dinner and Saturday lunch & dinner. The last time we did that as a family of 4, I realized we spent close to $300 eating out that weekend on top of the $200 I had just spent on groceries. Unacceptable. [/quote]
