How low is your food budget?

Well our was less, but it seems like it has jumped to $300. My ons has started eating a lot more, plus we have been on a huge health food kick (zero junk food, mostly organic, etc). That in and of itself is driving up our grocery costs. That also include toilet paper, shampoo, etc.

Oh my I wish I could get our food budget that low. Every two weeks I spend between 200 and 300 but then I'm also in the store almost every other day picking up stuff I forgot. I think my husband and kids must have hollow legs. And it's not like we're overweight. We are all quite slim. Maybe I should start shopping for better deals.

There is 4 of us also. I spend approximately $250. I catch deals and buy when things are on sale and put it in the freezer or the pantry.

I don't really track the grocery budget very closely. There is only two of us, and we sort of alternate on the shopping trips. Usually we do a $30 to $50 every 10 days or so, and one big trip $90-$100 every 5 or 6 weeks. It really depends on our work schedules. Our biggest waste of grocery money is when we buy fresh stuff or open canned goods and then don't get around to finishing it before it goes bad. The best tip I have for not overspending is to make a list and stick to it. Impulse buys are usually more expensive than the staples.

I usually keep track of the products on sale in the grocery because they often come up with different products on sale. Then I bought several of those products and stock it. But the regular stuff that we need, like the basic, I usually go for the grocery brand name, it's usually cheaper.

firstly,i am a half-vegetarian.putting meat and vegetable in front of me,i will prefer to eat vegetable rather than meat.because i guess vegetable is more healthier than meat. i usually spend about 12 yuan in my meals.even in our country,people here must fight to the inflation.

Our food budget is around $300 a month plus the little extras here and there. I sometimes think I may need to increase the budget because even though I shop very smart it seems the last week or so of the month there just isn't hardly anything left.
