[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So you don't pack lunches. That eliminates a huge portion of our grocery bill. Congratulations. [/quote]

They probably eat breakfast and lunch at school.  That leaves lunch for the adults M-F which they probably eat out every single day and isn't mentioned...[/quote]

Well, I wouldn't mention it either, because it's not part of my grocery bill and the question was about spending on groceries. We have a family of four, kids are 8 and 11, and our grocery bill is about $100-125 a week at Teeter (about $500 a month), plus we go to Costco and Trader Joe's occasionally (and Whole Foods rarely) which probably averages out to another $100 a month on food. But that doesn't include the kids lunches during the week, my husband's lunches or some of mine, we get pizza once a week, and we get all of our paper goods and cleaning supplies and toiletries at Costco and Target so I don't include that in the "groceries" category. It's hard to do an apples to apples comparison since people prepare different numbers of meals at home, and may be counting more than food in the grocery bill.[/quote]
