Re: Survey: Grocery Budget
How much is your monthly grocery budget? $300
How many people do you feed on a regular basis? 2
Do you use coupons? Sometimes if I cut them from the Sunday paper. But I usually only save a few bucks
Do you price match? No
Where do you shop for the best deals? I usually go to Super Target. I love their market pantry brand and always have good luck buying fresh fruit and veggies from them. If I want to buy cheap I go to Baker's. Hyvee is the most expensive for me.
How often do you eat out with your grocery budget? I don't include eating out in my grocery budget. I have a budget but it's more of an estimate to make sure I get all my bills paid. We don't eat out regularly, maybe once a week on average but sometimes it's something fast to go.
How much is your monthly grocery budget? I don't have a budget that I stick to but I'm guessing we spend about $300-400 a month.
How many people do you feed on a regular basis? 3 and the boy eats a LOT. so does DH actually.
Do you use coupons? yes, but more for household items. We buy a lot of store brands and the coupons available are usually for products we don't use (frozen dinners, pizzas, boxed meals, canned stuff)
Do you price match? Yes, I just started about a month ago and it saves me at least $10-15 per week
Where do you shop for the best deals? I only shop HyVee and Super Target. HyVee is where I PM and buy all meat and produce. There are certain things that are cheaper at HV and certain things cheaper at Target. This is also where PM comes in. I refuse to hit up 4 different stores every week.
How often do you eat out with your grocery budget? We don't budget that in but we eat out 1-2 times a week. Usually it's something quick (JJ's, Noodles, pizza) but once a month we'll go somewhere for a sit down meal (usually someplace we know we can eat cheaply or we have a coupon/Groupon). I know DH goes out to eat a few times a week for work and I average 2-3 times a month.
love is for every her, love is for every him, love is for everyone
How much is your monthly grocery budget? We dont really have a set budget, but we probably spend about $350/month
How many people do you feed on a regular basis? 2 adults, one toddler
Do you use coupons? nope
Do you price match? nope
Where do you shop for the best deals? Bag & Save usually has good sales
How often do you eat out with your grocery budget? We eat out about 6-7x/month, but I dont include that in my grocery budget.

How many people do you feed on a regular basis? 2 adults, 2 children
Do you use coupons? Yes.
Do you price match? Sometimes.
Where do you shop for the best deals? Bag N Save mostly lately, but I like HyVee's 1 or 2 day sales.
How often do you eat out with your grocery budget? I don't figure that into my grocery budget, but I usually eat out 1-2 times a week for lunch and usually 1 time on weekends with DH.
How much is your monthly grocery budget? $300-350 (we do a lot of fresh fruit, veggies, and meat - stuff we can't get coupons for!). We used to spend at least $400 a month before we started couponing, price matching, and switched from Hyvee to Super Saver
How many people do you feed on a regular basis? 2, plus I make all B's food
Do you use coupons? For our big trips every other week - yes; for our "oh crap I forgot to get something out of the freezer" - no. If we see coupons for something we won't use, we don't cut it out. If it's a new product that looks good, we will try it - if we don't like it, we throw the rest away.
Do you price match? Same ^ -- Between the two, we save about 30% of our bill so it's worth the time we put into it!
Where do you shop for the best deals? Super Saver for big trips; Hyvee for the quick trips
How often do you eat out with your grocery budget? Different part of budget, but once a week or less

How many people do you feed on a regular basis? Two adults, three kids
Do you use coupons? on toiletries and household items like toilet paper, etc...we buy Hyvee and Market Pantry brand more than anything so we don't find use for much food coupons--that and we don't eat ready made and box meals.
Do you price match? Yes. Especially at Hyvee---hello $2.99/lb Smart Chicken on a regular basis
Where do you shop for the best deals? Hyvee and Target
How often do you eat out with your grocery budget? I eat out maybe twice a month and it's a $5- $10 deal so I don't figure it into the grocery budget.

I shop at Hy-Vee for everything regardless of price. I enjoy grocery shopping and enjoy everything about Hy-Vee.How often do you eat out with your grocery budget?
I eat three meals a day, seven days a week at home. DH probably averages three meals, six days a week. We both enjoy cooking, so it works out well. Now, if I could just get my children to stop throwing all our hard work on the floor...Thanks everyone.
We are around $250-$300 for 2 adults and S then a few days a week with 2 additional kids. I try to coupon and price match as much as possible and right now, we do not go out to eat except this month we did since we needed a date.
How much is your monthly grocery budget? We don't really have a budget, but we spend about $200-$250 on groceries monthly(exclusive of alcohol)
How many people do you feed on a regular basis? 2 adults and a toddler
Do you use coupons? Constantly
Do you price match? No
Where do you shop for the best deals? I buy 75% of our food at whole foods and I just buy what's in season. We eat mostly organic produce and naturally raised meat, but we don't tend to buy processed food, which cuts back a lot on our budget.
How often do you eat out with your grocery budget? We don't include dining out on our grocery budget. We don't do dinner out regularly since lo goes to bed at 5, but we do lunches once or twice a month.
