[quote=Anonymous]About $800/mo for a family of 5 (kids are school and preschool age). We go out to eat as a family perhaps once a month, if that, and DH gets lunch out at work once a week -- that is a separate line item in our budget. All our meals are cooked from scratch with the exception of a breakfast like toast. We eat a lot of fresh produce and buy organic milk and eggs, and we shop at Wegmans and Costco pretty much exclusively, with an occasional food expense at Target. That $800 does include some household items like toilet paper and kleenex, and also includes beer and wine. If I was willing to fill up on carbs and forgo meat we could eat more cheaply, but I am genetically predisposed to diabetes and I just can't eat a ton of rice and pasta. I think we do pretty well on costs given how healthy we eat.[/quote]
