[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A lot of these budgets seem really high to me.  We spend about 100/week for 2 adults, 1 small child.  I think we eat fairly well, but we always have a couple of meals per week that are extremely inexpensive like pasta and marinara and crock pot black beans with rice.

One thing I am very strict about is drinks.  If I didn't watch him, my husband could spent 40 bucks a week on soda, juice, teas, bottled water, Gatorade etc.  Sure it's great to grab a Vitamin Water out of the fridge anytime you get thirsty, but [b]how do people justify the expense[/b]?[/quote]

Keep in mind that not everyone has the same budget. I am the one spending $700-$800 a week, and I justify it by saying I can afford it, and we enjoy great food. We'll go out to sushi one night, a steakhouse another, etc. We'll have a family over and serve nice bottles of wine or something. If we couldn't afford it of course we wouldn't be spending this way. Everyone has to do what works for their family.[/quote]
