[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, we take our lunches about 4x/week to work, eating out once a week with our friends at about $10/wk, so that's ~$80/mo. Our grocery bills only include FOOD - all other "household items" (paper towels, dish soap, etc) are covered under "household" expenses.

We shop the sales, eat a lot of chicken breast and lean porkchop - we don't like red meat really, it's not good for us either - [b]and LOTS of fresh fruit & veggies from farmers markets and local grocery.[/b] We cut down on processed items like soda, boxed food, etc. Most of the things we eat, we make from scratch. But we don't spend a ton of time cooking either, we have simple tastes and dinner is made in about 20 mins per evening, usually with enough for leftovers in a lunchbox the next day.[/quote]

See, this is where I find it hard to imagine your grocery bill being so low. Because when I have trips where I only need a few fresh things + crap like cookies and Easy Mac and cereal, my bill is cheap. But the week I go when I have to load up on produce? $$$$$. A head of cauliflower is $3.99 at my VA Wegmans right now. CAULIFLOWER. Not even organic. Just a regular old lowly head of cauliflower. Four bucks. A bag of apples- easily $8 and will last us a couple days. Grapes are like $3.50/lb. The better I eat, the more I spend, which is sad, but true. [/quote]
