[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]

I live equidistant between a large WF and a Giant and a Safeway. WF is on the whole slightly more expensive but not noticeably so, which really surprised me. And a lot of stuff is more expensive in the Giant than WF. The WF supply chain is phenomenal and definitely better quality produce and meats. And WF has regular sales on meat. Where WF is more expensive is for things like cheese and fancy frozen pizzas but at the same time you either can't get them at the Giant or they are no cheaper for the equivalent.

The only real savings is going to Aldis but Aldi is hit or miss and mostly misses and you can't rely on it for regular shopping.[/quote]
