How Much Do You Spend on Groceries Every Month?
When I sat down earlier this year and redid our budget I budgeted $300 a month for our family of five. That includes food, diapers, health and beauty items, toilet paper and paper towels and cleaning supplies. I thought, I’m a good couponer, surely I could do that?
I quickly realized that it wasn’t going to be enough.
After a couple months of trial and error I average $450 a month, and get back about $60 in grocery rebates. Our total comes to $390 a month after rebates, which isn’t too far off what I had first tried to spend.
How much do you spend a month on groceries? (include the # of people you are buying for also)

Hi
£180 ($360) for five. 2 adults, 2 adult children (20 and 17) and 1 13 year old.
It’s hard but I can do it!
Wow-that’s really impressive. I know it gets harder to keep the grocery budget low as your children get older (and bigger!)
Before you read this, make sure you are sitting down…

glblguy,
Ok, you’ve got a big family, but we’ve got to teach you some couponing
I’ll let you know when I find some good diaper deals.
Sheri,
Thanks! And you ROCK at the grocery game, I still haven’t gotten my total that low. I think the diapers and organic meat really makes the total high.
diapers and organic meat will DEFINITELY make that oop go up! Great review on the GG today, by the way. I didn’t realize you gamed! (duh, of course you would!)
