Re: Averge Monthly Food Budget I spend at least that much and there are only three of us. I include toiletries, cleaning supplies, pet food, etc. in my budget though.
If I were you, I'd stick with that budget and build a stockpile. I've found that I am still spending the same amount, but getting at least twice as much for the price. It means I can skip a week here or there when the deals aren't great or I'm low on funds. I figure this winter I'll be able to buy all my baking ingredients without going over budget, for example. And I'll be able to throw one heck of a holiday open house with all this free sausage! LOL |
