Between 1800 and 2200 per month ALL-IN family of 5 (2 parents, 12yr old, 9 yr old, 19yr old au pair)

This includes $ spent on lunches (DH & I generally buy lunch) and dinners out.

$700/month for 3. We eat out some, buy some things like baked goods (bakery bread, bagels), grass fed meat, some organic, etc.

About 900/mo for a family of three. It would be higher except we eat out in one form or another at least once/week.

The Safeway app has discounts that in some cases are not advertised.


Have you ever heard of the value of time? Rather than scour apps and print ads for coupons on mostly brand name products that aren't on my list, I'd rather plan out meals, shop at Aldi/Costco.


I sure have, it is called planning. The app/website in Safeway's case takes less than 5 minutes to see what is on sale for that current week.

Coupons, ten minutes tops, the Sunday Wash Post doesn't add that many.

I guess you don't like to save money on shampoo, soap, ice cream, and other things that are not on your meal preparation list either?



All of that stuff is cheaper as Brand X at Aldi/Costco!


Really? I have seen ice cream as low as $2 at Safeway depending on the week. Let's put it this way, between sales and other things, I have saved well over $500 this year.
Also, Aldi isn't that popular (at least in Northern VA, just did a search in multiple cities). Costco is a pain to get in and out of, and frankly, bulk only works if you have the cabinet space and a big enough family.

How do you spend that much for a family of four with little kids??

That is way more than we spend and we have three boys, a teenager and two preteens, plus a neighborhood of boys who are always muching on something.

Do you have a special diet?

I spend about $300/ week.

5 people, two adults, a 20yr old male athlete, and two boys, ages 6 & 10.

The guys eat so incredibly much. We eat the fridge bare each week.

$1000/month. 3 adults, 2 children. Most everything made from scratch due to allergies. Eating out is rare.
