![]() ![]() It's not lobster and delmonicos.but sirloin, boneless skinless ckn, Tilapia and lots of lean lunch meats and cheezes. For home I'm big on fresh fruits, veggies and good meats. It varies depending on how much we eat out too (hooked on chinese buffet). We eat very well and spend about 700-800 for two adults, a teenage athlete and a huge dog. Lunches, for my hubby, and my 12 year old Salad, and CONDIMENTS ( always have a sauce)Īnd then post dinner snack of COOKIES and tea for my hubby, and milk and cookies for the kids,īut with all that laundry, and the toilet paper and paper towels swiffer stuff ect. Pre dinner snacks fruits, and a sweet ( usually reeses peanut butter candies or cereal)ĭinner, chicken, rice, potatoes, peas N pasta, juice, We drink milk with everything so 6 gallons PER WEEK Pre lunch snack of cookies, popcorn, or goldfish crackers Post breakfast snack for kiddie, cereal and fruits ![]() We eat home for most every meal, breakfasts consist of egg omlets with onion cilantro and tomatoes, breakfast sausage and fresh home made bread, coffe ( for me,tea for the hubby) I spend between 5 dollars per month on a combination of groceries and everything else a family might need, however we have 2 in diapers, and a nearly 12year old Also taste of Homes has many money saving dinner recipes, and i have a few of my own, i'd be happy to share just send me a message.Īlso.this was an interesting question, Thanks for posting it, I will certainly keep up with people's responses! The biggest money saver to me is to sit down Sunday mornings and look at the sales then plan you whole weeks worth of meals around what's on sale. I also stay at home primarily and I like to make mostly everything from scratch, no jarred sauces(Tomato, alfredo, cheese), no supper in a box type entrees. I try not to eat out too much, maybe twice a month, which saves money, this will generally be Pier 57, Red lobster, kirby's, or the once a month trip to McDonald's(I know it's bad I can't help it LOL,) Meats range from skinless boneless ckn breast, to 95% lean ground beef, ground turkey, soy burgers, pork chops, haddock and the occasonal splurge on seafood night. Fresh Fruits such as bananas and grapes are a staple in my house, the rest i genaerally do canned unless they are in season and really good fresh. I always found coupons to be a waste of time, they dont necessarily go along with the sales and I find myself picking something up just because I have a coupon that i really dont need. I do buy a lot of wegmans brand products (Cheese, pastas, bread, canned and frozen fruits and veggies) but I also have to buy certain brands with some things. I do save some money shopping aldi's for paper products, and a few other things(I don't trust all of the foreign brands on some items). ![]() I do buy some processed foods, i try not to buy too many but some nights I need dinner in a snap ya know. This is also with Wic giving me 5 gallons of milk, 36 eggs, 5 cans of juice, two pounds of cheese, 2 boxes of cereal, a jar of peanut butter, and a $5 check towards fruits and veggies every month. I spend about $125 a week, more or less some weeks. I have a family of three, myself, my husband and my two year old daughter. ![]()
