[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Please walk me through what you eat every week.

We recently had a thread about how much people spend on food every week, and some families of four were in the $250/$300 range. 
I need to get my costs lowered and apparently it could be done. I would love to know an example of what you eat for each meal in a week. 
(I shop at Aldi, Lidl, Trader Joe’s, so not spending outrageously at WF). [/quote]

Same food as “average” DCUMer, but we don’t buy organic and never shop at Whole Food$. Huge waste of money.[/quote]

You don’t know what you’re talking about. Whole Foods is cheaper than Giant/Safeway/Wegman’s for the things I buy there. You wouldn’t know since you never shop there obviously. [/quote]

We moved away from a Whole Foods when we moved to suburbia, we gave the grocery stores closer to us a chance (Safeway/ Giant etc) and we were very disappointed with the quality of produce and fish- it also wasn’t cheaper at all!

Now I drove 20 minutes to the closest WF, and it’s absolutely worth it.

Also, it’s if it matters I spend just a hair under $200 everytime i do big haul. So it’s one big haul one week,  and the next week a bunch of little trips to refill things like milk and fruit that add up to $100ish.
