[quote=Anonymous]I agree, that's crazy. We used to shop at WF and eat out/get take out but now that we're paying for daycare and have other expenses, it's (mostly) organic produce from Safeway, organic meat from Costco (and lots of meatless meals), and buying seasonally. I still feel like our grocery bill is high. I think you need to approach this cooperatively though - telling her she needs to stop shopping at WF and cook for you instead of getting take out is not going to get you far. Identify what your spending issues are (i.e. we need to save x dollars a month more) and discuss food as a big place you could cut. Is she doing all the cooking and shopping? Why? Can you take those over for a couple of weeks to demonstrate the feasibiliy of your new plan (and savings)?[/quote]
