[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just read this entire thread from start to finish - wow!

We have a ridiculous food budget.  I'm talking $900-1200 / month for two adults, one toddler.  I buy lunch almost every day, we eat out at least twice a week as a family (sunday brunch every weekend, etc).

We still cook 4-5 nights a week.  From WF, we buy: produce, meat (unless we go to the farmer's market), milk (two 1/2 gallons), cheeses (YUM), sparkling water by the case, hardwood charcoal, etc... We buy a LOT there.  I do stay away from the baked goods as they suck, but their english muffins are to die for.  I also love the Nieman Ranch canadian bacon and petit ham that they sell.

From TJ's, I buy a lot of indian stuff (frozen naan, I could live off that), frozen seafood, some frozen meats, olive oils (for cooking, it's much cheaper than WF), but never produce.  THeir produce is underwhelming.

Occasionally I go to Wegmans (we are addicted to their sparkling water), Giant (if we run out of milk on the way home or for tortillas because WF tortillas suck and my son almost choked to death on them).  But, we pretty much live at WF and I'm okay with that.

In contrast the government's most liberal food budget for your family would be $830 for all meals combined. The thrifty budget would be about half of that. [/quote]
