[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Family of five, two adults with an 18, 17, and 15 years old.  We are spending about $800/week on groceries.  We buy lot of seafood (lobsters, fish) and steaks on top of lot of vegetables, fruits and milk.  Kids are hungry.[/quote]

Insane that some people are now spending north of $40,000 per year to feed their families.[/quote]

That is an outlier of 3 older age teens.  They have expensive tastes with the seafoods.

Some of what I find works best for us is Costco every 2 weeks or so.  Buy the sale stuff that is good and stock up and freeze it like chicken sausages.

Another store for grass milk and pasture raised eggs.  Everything else is from Costco or trader joes once a month or so.

Giant and HT are no longer good value unless you stock up on the BOGO items.

Hmart also expensive.

WF keeps getting relatively cheaper for basics like produce and good meat.

Aldi and lidl still pretty good value but make sure to check the produce before buying.  Up to 20 percent is garbage, soon to be rotten.[/quote]
