So how much do you spend a month on Groceries ?

[Mrs P]

The US Department of Labor estimates that the average family of four spends $8,513 per year on groceries, or about $709 per month.

My family spends roughly around $1,150.00
a month, we're a family of 5. We buy bulk, Buy whole foods nothing pre-cooked, pre-packaged, we cook from scratch, and shop around for the best deals and I use coupons when ever possible..

So how much are you guys/gals spending these days on groceries ??

We are a family of 4 and we probably spend $1200 mo. Kinda funny we were eating with some friends last night and having this same discussion and talking about how ridiculous the cost of groceries has and is going up. $6 for a gallon of milk, $8 for a 32 carton eggs. When will it end

Where the hell do you live??!?!?!? Milk is maybe 2.80 here, eggs still 99 cent a carton...

On that note, your grocery bill is the same amount as I make a month from work so...guess its only fair.

Family of 4 $1,300 month..

 

[nerdalert]

we are a family of 5 and we spend about $800 a month. We buy what we can in bulk at BJ's but you can't get everything there. The gas prices are what is killing me.

[RJ]

[MGunz]

wtf how are all of you eating so cheap??? I shop at sam's club, buy my steaks and salmon in bulk..I have a butcher that sells chicken cutlets for $2lb all year, and I still spend over $500/month on just myself in groceries alone, not to mention when I buy restaurant food. I also eat 4-5lbs of meat a day most days though.

 

[Die$eL~Man]

family of 3 $800 per month minimum

 

[Dragula]

The $1200 we spend a mo. does not really include a lot of meats due to that we eat venison 2-3 times a week so if we were to actually buy all grocer meats it would probably be more like $1500 mo

lol im like pinga with eating meat, i want it for breakfast, brunch, lunch,dinner, snack and sometimes dessert. No i dont buy it i HUNT it , in fact i just shot a big buck yesterday. usually i harvest around 5-6 deer a season and ill take one or two deer and have a 80/20 mix of ground meat, 80% venision 20% ground chuck which gives me 100 lbs or so of ground meat for season. then ill take one deer and have sausage made then we just marinate and grill the backstraps which if done right is awesome BUT the key to venision is knowing how to prepare it lol which a lot of people screw up.

Just me and my GF, we spend about 600-700 per month at the grocery store. That's not just food though, we buy all our food at Trader Joes/Whole Foods, and all of our household products and essentials at Costco.

 

[cyto33]
