[quote=Anonymous]We're a family of 5 (kids are 6, 3, and 1) that spend about $150-200/wk on groceries. This doesn't include diapers or alcohol. I coupon, take advantage of sales and meal plan. DH packs lunch a few days a week, the rest of us are either home or pack lunch at school. We don't do much soda, but the kids drink a lot of milk and I have an orange juice habit. OP, even if you don't have room to stock up and store meat yet, you can still shop the circulars and buy what's on sale each week. It doesn't matter what you save money on, your savings free up money for other things you need. Think along the lines of cleaning supplies, laundry detergent, shampoo. Can your husband do lentils? What about soybeans? Those are other good meat substitutes and somewhat shelf stable. Honestly, your budget doesn't sound terrible. But there's always room to trim! Good luck.[/quote]
