Budgeting for groceries... my family consists of me and my husband and an 8-month-old.?

What is an average monthly grocery bill. We try to eat healthy. I want to save more money this year. Is 300 a month a reasonable figure for a monthly grocery bill?

I don't know why Gloria 8 said 800 a month???

300-350 should be fine if you budget, coupon clip, make menu, not eat out, etc.

Does the 800 p/month include baby formula? If it does not, they I think you're spending too much. I spend less than 150 p/month for my 16yr old son and me. I also shop with coupons only and sales. I have a freezer and will stock with whatever meat is on sale. Good luck.

we are a family of 2 adults & 3 teens-plus a dog & 2 birds. we spend roughly between $700.00- $800.00 each month on groceries. (CDN)

$75 per week is quite ample, if you shop wisely and prepare healthy and inexpensive foods. You can provide excellent nutrition by using legumes to supplement protein content in meat dishes, as well as using other money saving shortcuts.

For two of us we spend between 300 and 500 per month (500 per month if we eat out alot at fast food) We also shop at the discount grocery store (the one that makes you bag groceries yourself) to save money. We are also both really skinny though (85 pounds & 141 pounds) If you have no objection to eatting plain rice several days per week, you can drastically cut down on your food bill. 1 pound of rice can feed 2 people for at least a whole day and it only costs 38 cents where we shop.

$300 sound about right. Are you including non-food items such as paper products and soap in this amount?

Some ways to save on grocery bills are to plan weekly menus based on the grocery sale ads; make a list and only buy what is on the list; and most important, never go shopping on an empty stomach -- I swear I spent twice as much when I haven't eaten first.
