What is your average weekly grocery bill for a family of 4?!
2 kids under 6 and 2 adults!. Eat fresh (non packaged or frozen) foods!. Non- organic!. We spend $150 / week!. It seems high to me!. what do you spend!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Answers:
We spend about 200 dollars every two weeks and that is getting 300 dollars worth of grocerys after all the coupns we use!. so ours would be the same without the couponsWww@FoodAQ@Com
We try to only spend $100, but unless there is alot of good stuff on sale at the supermarket, then we usually end up spending about $125!. Sometimes more, sometimes less!.
If you are feeding your family good nutritious fresh food- then I wouldn't worry about it costing a little more-it's worth it!. I'd rather spend a little more, if we have it, than save a few bucks and feed my family pre-packaged crap or cheap fast food!.

Do you shop for bargains at other stores or just shop at one store!? Do you clip coupons!? Watch the papers for sales etc!?
Do you buy big sizes of things you use a lot of like flour or sugar!? Are you freezing cooked meals or buying things on sale the freezing the extras!? (IE!. whole chickens for !.64 lb are a good deal)!. Are you buying things like kids mini meals and cookies!?
I don't think $150 for your family is a lot per week if this includes things like TP, soap, shampoo etc!. It's a little high if it doesn't!.
I am really cheap and I have learned how to stretch a dollar!. I can things and don't buy pre-made frozen crap that I can make myself at home!. I have made less than $100 last a month for food for 3 people - 2 adults, 1 kid!. But that's not very fun but it can be done!. (It would probably be more like $150 these days)Www@FoodAQ@Com

Um, are you buying lobster!? You can do better hun!. I spend for a month, no more than 100, and yes its for 4 people!. We eat pastas, with lots of veggies, chicken, soups, fruits and salads, sandwhiches made from the chicken and veggies, cheeses, stretch that budget!. We do not starve, eat like gourmets, bake our own breads, cakes, cookies, pies!. It can be done!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Its just me and my fiance!. We eat all fresh foods also and shop at a fairly expensive store bc its close to home!. On average we spend at least $180!.00 a week, so I would say you are doing pretty good!. Plus, we don't even eat at home every day!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Same sized family almost the same make up, we spend about $110 a week, but are very careful and use lots of coupons, etc, so without being too careful we would also be spending around $150, plus everthing has gotten so expensive over the past few months!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
5 people about 150-250 a week we try to incorp as much organic though as possible (only meat and dairy) it seems high to me tooWww@FoodAQ@Com
100s and 100s with coupons as we only buy organic food!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
