[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am so confused. We spend $600/month for two adults and an ES kid, and that includes all "grocery store" items, like pet stuff, spices, most toiletries, household cleaners and so on. We do shop Aldi/Lidl 2x/month, but shop WF 1x/month and TJs or Giant 1x/month PLUS I'm including CVS, Penzey's, Amazon and so on. I even include alcohol in this (Total Wine, corner store, etc.), but we have cut down on that.

To spend $250 on 2 people/week means... just a lot of fancy items AND prepared foods (or lots on alcohol?) And I feel like we spend plenty on prepared foods! [/quote]

No, it doesn't require buying a lot of fancy items, just more food and less attention to the prices of individual things. I spend easily twice that per week (my grocery bills are insane, I have several teen boys), and most of us don't even eat meat. I don't buy much in the way of prepared food either. But I shop at Trader Joe's/WF/Acme, not Aldi. Aldi would probably save me a lot but it's not convenient for me.
