[quote=Anonymous]I spend approx $1000 a month on food (including eating out 1-2x month dinner and 4x month lunch). We are a family of 4 and eat all other meals at home. I use coupons and buy almost only on sale. We only eat meat/chicken 2-3x a week for dinner and never for lunch, except for leftovers. We use 2 gallon of milk and 2 ojs per week. Otherwise, just drinking water. Cooking is expensive: one recipe of baked ziti is $13: $2 for pasta, $4 ricotta, $3 for marinara, $2 mozz, $2 for spinach. Add in a salad or a protein (sometimes we'll add some veggie sausage and you are looking at $20 for dinner) $20 x 30 dinners a month is $600 just on dinner. A roast chicken costs $12 + $2 rice + $3 broccoli = $15. For my family of 4, this only lasts one night w/ no leftovers. I'll make a lentil soup, but usually as part of a larger meal and not by itself for dinner. I dont see how you feed a family of 4 on $600 a month. [/quote]
