Grocery budget
How much do you think you girls spend on groceries per month?
Re: Grocery budget
I always check over the receipts so I know how much we're spending. I also plan our meals ahead (partly because we are so indecisive that it is impossible for us to pick something on the fly) so I make a list of what we need and try to stick just to that. Of course DH always add crackers or goldfish (etc).
It is also helpful to plan meals around what's on sale. And of course clipping coupons when you can.

That $300 doesn't include what we spend at Target for random household items (including paper and cleaning products), toiletries, cat food, etc. Sometimes we buy cleaner or paper products at the grocery store but try to get them at Target since they are usually cheaper.
Unless I'm having a party, I think around $300 or 400- but this often includes cleaning products, shampoo, paper towel, etc. DH doesn't tell me how much his grocery trips cost, hence the wide range.
DH made up a budget on Monday, and we're allowed $400/month for groceries, and I think cleaning products, etc fall into another category.?
$400-$450
We spend about $400-500 per month (inc other household items) but that does not include eating out which we also do way too much. I need to get better about buying things I dont end up using.
not enough?
We go MAYBE once every 3 weeks, and spend about $150ish each time... sometimes we go longer than that, sometimes we make small trips when we need stuff.
We really need to get on a better schedule...
We also spend somewhere in the neighborhood of $500 - $600 per month. We both love to cook, so most of our meals are from scratch. Since I am a pescetarian (moving towards vegetarianism/possibly veganism) and H is an omnivore, we buy cruelty-free as much as we possibly can, as well as organic.
'Tis not cheap.
Plus we are in L-O-V-E with Trader Joe's since we didn't have it in Florida, which means we are in the obsessive early stages of "We must buy everything in sight." Hopefully it will ease up a little bit here soon.
