I don't know how to spend that little on food. We have a family of five (and sometimes cousins or neighborhood kids are over and playing and snacking on fruit and such) and $2k+ a month for groceries is normal. Practically every meal is home cooked. We might get take out once every couple weeks or go out to eat once a month, which is on top of that $2k. We could cut that cost in half with processed foods and a pasta heavy diet maybe, but we want to eat healthy.
- DougN7 9y agoThat really surprises me. We are also a family of 5. Because of diet issues we even buy a handful of organic items (primarily dairy), and we easily spend less than $1500/mo on food. Oh, and I’d say our diet is above average as far as health, though it could be better. Most meals are home made. Could it matter where we live? I’m near a big city in the midwest.
