For the whole family? How many in your family?

I have found that groceries have really gone up. I used to get by for about 100 dollars a week for two people. For the last several months, I cannot get out of the grocery store for less than 125 dollars a week. We do feed my brother at least once or twice a week. We do not eat out much- we eat Subway on Sunday for lunch and will eat out maybe twice a month.

Per person?

[nahkoe]

Right now, I spend between $100 and $125 per person, per month. This is *extremely* extravagant for us.

I know that I could keep it under $75 per person, per month. I had it at $50 or less per person, per month for several years. Unfortunately, groceries have gone up and our lifestyle has completely changed. I still think $75 would be reasonably painless to do.

Disregard my poll vote above.

I'm in the club with these two. Duh. "Always read before you proceed" - isn't that what we're taught?

Sorry.

Ok, so per person is impossible for me to know because I feed my whole family PLUS the daycare kids for breakfast, then just the daycare kids for supper, then half the town for after school snack, then just my family for supper. And in addition to that, we do eat out alot. Especially during baseball season. And basketball season. Oh ya, and during football season because of marching band. And then there's late July and all of August when it's just too hot to heat up the kitchen by cooking...............
