[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We shop between Whole Foods, Harris Teeter and Trader Joe's for a family of five and probably spend $2000 per month. Dont't forget that grocery includes paper towels, detergent, cleaning supplies, etc. I don't think 1k sounds like a lot[/quote] We're DINKs who easily spend $1k/month on groceries. It doesn't sound like a lot to me either. If I did want to cut down I'd do things like, not buy the $$$ eggs produced by pasture raised chickens (it's still cruel but not like battery farming), get the regular cheese instead of the one from pasture raised cows (same reasoning), eat more rice and beans (I eat a lot of them already but more, I guess), etc. I can see where we COULD cut out quite a bit of $ if we put our minds to it. Certainly we have plenty of waste. Stuff getting old and moldy at the back of the fridge. We're working on that.[/quote]
