[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No it means groceries for lunches. Meaning that's why it's ONLY $1k. seriously how do you guys do groceries for less than $1k. Shop at walmart? not drink $5 bottles of wine?[/quote] Generic when possible. Few convenience foods (nothing pre-shredded, chopped, etc.) Buy on sale. Typically no alcohol.... maybe a $10 bottle for a weekend (but we realized that added up, and we cut back). We do spend more on the household stuff, so that could be where your $$ is going because you mentioned you lumped it in here. We just use cheaper stuff if quality is ok (no luxury shampoos, I cut open lotion tubes to get everything out...). Nothing that alone makes a big dent in the budget but together stuff that extends the life of stuff and stretches out visits to Target.[/quote]
