[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]I don’t get how you people spend so much. [/b]

We have a family of 4 and we spend about 500/month. We go to Costco once a month spending 200 to 300. (This also includes toiletries, diapers and whatever random stuff we buy there but mostly groceries.) Then we spend about $75-100 on 2 or 3 smaller grocery trips throughout the month. Maybe there will be a month where we get to 700 but thats rare. It usually only happens when we’re hosting dinner parties or holiday get togethers.

We generally eat out once a week, sometimes more and sometimes less. My kids love to bake so we never buy any baked goods. We do eat tons of produce. We’re mostly vegetarian, so that saves money on meat. However we buy plenty of pricier produce like avocados, fresh berries, almond milk, etc.

I feel like I could get the grocery budget down to $400 if I meal planned and was a little more strategic, but it’s not worth it. [/quote]
