[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We're in the same boat with only 2 kids, and sometimes it's more like $900. We don't eat out much, so this covers almost all our meals (including lunches for everyone). We do organics a lot of the time but not always. We don't eat tons of meat. We cook more or less from scratch (not too many convenience foods) and eat leftovers. Going to Whole Foods once or twice a month doesn't help, but we've found that our regular, cheaper grocery store is pretty mediocre in terms of quality, so we do like to splurge on nice cheese and that sort of thing on occasion. On the positive side, I know that if necessary, we could cut back.[/quote]

sounds like us! We have two kids under 9, and still spend this much or more (I can't bear to add it  up) But we are very frugal in other ways. No TV, no newspaper or magazines either. Rarely eat out (and if we do, often just breakfast) have had a babysitter only once in the last three months...

I don't mind spending this money on food, because it makes me feel lucky and well-off to eat well. Besides, our health and meals together take top priority.
