[quote=Anonymous]prob $250/week family of four.  I do A LOT of extreme couponing for shelf-stable items like FiberOne cereal (recently $1.99/box at Walgreens & I had coupons for each box I bought) and organic chips like ChiaPop or LateJuly.

For paper goods & toiletries I usually scan RiteAid, CVS & Walgreens weekly for specials but I also keep on top of Harris Teeter & Wegmans because they double coupons less than $1.00 face value.

I cook from Cooking Light 5-ingredient dinners and those Jessica Seinfeld "slip-in-extra-veggies" cookbooks.  I try to prep as much as I can on Sunday nights.  I have my grocery lists generated from what I'm going to cook that week.  I do have some repeats during the month but I can cook about 15 dinners decently without too much work.

We do like to eat out on the weekends while we're out having family time but I do subscribe to several online coupon providers that reduce our tab.  I also use the occasional Friday's, Applebee's, Chili's or UNO's coupon.  There are always some in the newspaper inserts and friends always save their inserts for me because I am renowned for my frugality.  I also don't have a problem dining out at chain restaurants although I do love Le Diplomate.  [/quote]
