They show you what the sales are and what coupons to use with them, then you can stock up on those items that are cheap or free until the next sale. My family have saved A LOT of money this way.

I also have to voice my condolences; the next few years your son is going to eat more you and your husband combined ;-) I'm in an area with a relatively low cost of living (Michigan), and two of us can get by on $100 per week with no problems - and that includes some household supplies. Our bar bill is another matter, though. I’ve gotta chime in here and agree that your grocery bill seems high.

And I hope your cleaning supplies and personal care stuff is included in that 400. I buy at wal mart and feed 4 people and that includes all health and beauty cleaning detergent etc and I spend roughly 150/200 every 2 weeks. And we eat good balanced meals plus fruit and snacks.

PNW is a bit pricey, but not that much for food, unless you are dining on salmon and halibut all the time. Do you price comparison shop? idk Winco price levels; and maybe Wal-mart is not as cheap as you think. Read the weekly ads and make a list, and shop 2 or 3 stores a week to get everyone's low prices.
