Moms, what is your grocery bill monthly and how many people are in your family?

I'm speaking strictly food and household necessities, not diapers, wipes, creams.

Re: Moms, what is your grocery bill monthly and how many people are in your family?

I'm guessing around $600/month for 3 people (DH, myself & DS who is 9 months). Chat Icon The reason it's so high is because I eat 95% organic, and can only eat certain foods because of DS's allergies (I'm BFing). So most of what I buy is a specialty item, and of course nothing I eat EVER goes on sale Chat Icon

ETA: DH brings food to work sometimes, but also buys lunch/dinner at work. That's an additional $300 Chat Icon

Around $500-$600/month on groceries for 2 adults and a 21 month old.
We do not eat out often. We bag lunch every single day so what we spend in groceries is saved in brown bagging. We eat a lot of fruits and veggies which can cost a lot. My daughter will go through a thing of strawberries and blueberries in 4-5 days. We go through 2-3 bananas/day between the three of us.

I am always amazed at how low some families grocery bills are on these posts. We are a family of 4, DDs are 6yrs and 3yrs, and we spend $600 - $750 monthly. I do purchase organic meats and dairy and strictly limit the amount of foods with high fructose corn syrup, which is what seems to be on sale!

at least $500 a month, if not more. But that would be average.

2 adults, 2 children, school age (ages 5 and 7). We eat dinner home almost every night and my kids, me and DH bring lunch to school/work.

Please tell me how you spend so little Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon



We spend about $100 every 2 weeks and $40-$50 in between. DD is with MIL (usually at their house) during the week and she prepares breakfast and lunch for herself, FIL and DD so I usually mostly just buy dinner stuff for the week and turkey, bread, veggies, snacks for us to take to work for lunch.

We don't need to buy baby food anymore.

I'm also in FL and we have Publix. Best food store ever. They have BOGO sales every day and usually on stuff I actually buy often. Their store brand stuff is amazing too, actually most is better than the name brands so we save a lot there.

About $600/month, sometimes more. 2 adults and a 2 yr old. We eat out like once a month and me and DH both bring our lunches. We also eat really healthy and unfortunately that gets expensive, especially during the winter when fruit can get really expensive. Prices are going up too which scares me!

Re: Moms, what is your grocery bill monthly and how many people are in your family?

It used to be $400 a month... about a $100 a week. But now I've learned to buy meats in bulk, so I only go shopping at a food store once a month, spending about $80 and then pick up things here and there. Now it's about $250-300 a month. 2 adults and a 1 year old.

We used to spend less, but lately I've usually been spending about $200 each time I shop! But I shop about 3 times a month so $600. We are a family of 3.
