I spend probably $1000 a month on groceries (for six ppl) but that does not include the detergents and the like.... I am trying to make sure that we have salad regularly and unfortunately, bf will only eat salad when he has all the things that are included when we eat out at restaurants.. he likes cheese, bacon bits, and all the other goodies, they can be costly I swear.. but at least, we save a bit by cooking at home... and yeah, I need to do the coupons too.. I always forget..
