About $350 for my husband and I. I make a monthly meal plan chart and go shopping for the ingredients I need. Then of course some extras. Snacks, drinks. At the start of the next month we still have food left so I do inventory.
Somewhere around $700. Family of 4 and my husband takes 2 lunches everyday
When it was just my husband and I with one child we would spend about 300 per monthā¦ We had maybe 600a month leftover for bills and necessities. Now we have four kids together and we spend maybe 500a month in food and about 1800 in bills and necessitiesā¦if I can skip a bill to help cover food costs I willā¦ We only make about 2450 per monthā¦and thatās if my husband is able to work the whole monthā¦ Iām a newly stay at home mom (again)ā¦ Since daycare for my family alone is 1200 minimum per month
Omg

To everyone posting on how much you spend . Where are you from ? Pricing verys on where you live .
Honestly it depends on where you live, the amount of time everyone spends at home, the amount of snacking your family does, how many meals a day everyone eats at home, how many home cooked meals you have
If you can afford it and your family is happy, healthy, and full than keep up the good work
If youāre looking to lower your budget Iād start planning meals out for the week prior to shopping as well as take advantage of discount stores and store ads/coupons
I have a family of 7 and we spend 600 a month
About $800 for 5 of us. And my kids are homeschooled so thatās 3 meals a day. They eat leftovers or sandwiches for lunch so weāre not wasting.
I spend $100 a week. 3 teen girls. 1 six year old. And me and hub. We slaughter a pig and a cow every year.

I have our budget set at $400. A family of 4, plus my mother-in-law. T
Meal plan, so you can buy what you need. I almost go to the grocery weekly. I realize that a lot of food was being wasted, so meal planning helped with that. I also only cook enough for what we are going to eat. I try not to have a lot of leftover because that is usuly wasted. We also donāt buy a lot of snacks. I do seperated food from things like dish soap, paper towels, toilet paper etc. I have a smaller budget for that.

My family (my pregnant self, my husband, and our 1 year old) spend about $500 a month on just groceries. Donāt really have a way of keeping it that low it just kind of happened and stuck.
myself and 2 children, i spend $100/week
It depends,if I meal plan and donāt buy extra stuff such as junk food/snacks. I can spend about $125 a week for a family of 8. But this is with a set meal plan and slight bulk buys. I can get at least 5 meals from a 10 lb ground beef and get super creative. But thatās one meat I buy. I rotate different meat each night.
If I get extras then I could probably spend as much as 200 a week. We try to avoid junk in the house now and will do special snack days.

I spend about $650-700 a month for groceries, household essentials and personal care items. We are a family of 5. I make a meal plan for dinners for 2 weeks at a time as thatās how often I shop. So I come up with 14 complete meals. I then writ down a list of items needed to make every single meal. So if we are having meatloaf I write down how many pounds of burger, any spices and any mix ins I use. I do that for everything. I then take that list and compare it to what I have on my shelves, refrigerator and freezers. If I need an item I circle it and if I donāt I cross it out. Once done with that I can create a shopping list based on only what I need so we donāt have much waste if any. It is a process but helps me save money. I also donāt buy premade snacks or desserts often. I instead buy ingredients need to make them that can also be used for other things.

A better question is how much do you spend on groceries and eating out? Some may not spend a lot on groceries, but the eating out tab is high, and Vice versa.

I have 6 kids and I spend about 1200 to 1300 depending on how food Iām willing to buy
I spend about $1k a month on a family of 3 but that does include toiletries and pet goods (2 dogs, 2 cats). If I had to guess for just groceries, I think about $600-800 of that is groceries? Weāre vegetarian and I buy a lot of fresh veggies and fruit. Itās hard to reduce a food budget and not compromise quality. Especially if you donāt have a decent grocery store readily available.
I am very scheduled, every single Sunday I sit down with my kids and make a menu for the week. As we make the menu I make my grocery list and I use my ads to see whatās on sale where and make my lists for what needs to come from what stores. I buy everything I can possibly buy from Aldi besides meat and I get it on sale at Fareway or Hyvee and when I see I good deal on something I buy a bunch and freeze it. Like Thursday I seen Fareway had hotdogs $.60 a pack and thatās a savings of $1.35 a pack! So I bought 20 packs and froze them, my kids eat them for lunches and we do virtual school so they are home every meal. If I find a good deal on chicken, I buy a bunch and throw it in the deep freeze, hams I buy after Easter and freeze, stock up on turkeys around thanksgiving and etc. I do things like say on a Tuesday night I make a roast and do hot beef, I take the rest of the roast and the next night make beef and noodles. My kids love it and it saves me a ton of time! Just get creative and you can save a ton of money!

$600ish for a family of 4 (two toddlers). SAHM so three meals a day plus two snacks a day for the kids. I pretty much only shop sales and use coupons and save about $200+ a month. It was a lot less when the kids were in daycare and I worked bc I only had to worry about dinners and weekend meals for everyone! But then a couple hundred more for diapers/wipes & other necessities. (Plus 2 dogs)
I wanna say like 300 or so a month and thatās including household items/diapers/wipes if needed. We buy more in bulk so it lasts. Itās me, bf and our one year old. And we eat out ALOTTTTT
I think it makes a huge difference in how you eat. My son canāt have any processed foods or anything with added sodium. I spend $80/week just on produce, and cook every meal from scratch so my grocery bill is always high.
About $300. Myself and one toddler.
