[quote=Anonymous]Family of 6 here (4 kids under 10 so no huge appetites yet).  I just started tracking my grocery spending.  We are averaging about $700/month, not including eating out (which we don't do a whole lot of).  I meal plan, I pack all lunches and every so often quit shopping for a few days and use what we have on hand (this may be the best tip!).  I like to cook, so in fairness that helps things.  I don't do crazy coupons and don't go to every store every week for the best deals BUT I do browse all ads, visit Wegmans 1X/wk and a few smaller trips to Giant, SFWY, HT here and there to snap up their deals.  I also go to TJ's every 3 weeks or so to pick up certain items.  We do not have meat at every meal - I have loads of nice pyrex containers on hand and the freezer is my friend.  My dh is not a big $ earner, so I see it as doing my part in making one income work for our family.  You need to become familiar with prices everywhere.  No store is the cheapest really, you just need to "play them" really.
