It is only my father as well as I as well as you live in Florida. I outlay $100 each week upon groceries as well as I do not buy though about 50 things (per the receipt) as well as I regularly use the grocery list as well as I have the weekly menu as well as go by that. I use coupons though I feel similar to I keep spending so many income as well as I do not get which many stuff. I need to know how to save money. I do not buy the costly things as well as try to get the store code for many things. Any suggestions?

70$ – 100$
$240, my mum, dad, brother and me, we tend to eat alot and go shopping midweek too and fast food about $500 all together.
that’s all you spend? i spend at least 300 dollars every time i go to walmart to buy groceries
you think that 100 dollars is alot seriously we spend like 300 dollars everytime we go grocery shopping about 2 times a week but then again we are kinda rich
my wife spends an average of $50 a week on our groceries(just us, no children)
look up butcher shops/processing plants in your area and see if they have any local farmers who supply them with hogs or cattle. we buy our meat this way. we get about one hog a year, and we go in with friends and have a steer butchered and split the meat four ways.
your meat will be fresher,cleaner and is a lot less likely to make your seven year old daughter grow boobs. you will also be keeping your money in the local economy

buy the stuff you need on sale
I spend half that. When I shop I look for what is on sale. Chicken goes up and down like its stock. Make your potato salad etc. Rice, pancakes, eggs, peanut butter, beans, spaghetti are things that should be on your list. Keep away from the deli stuff. Make your own ham, turkey etc. Most people can eat cheaper if they cook harder.
I think $100.00 a week is pretty good. That is only $7.00 a day for each of you. Be proud of yourself..
i barely ever buy weekely..but when i do i spend $70.00
i do my shopping fortnightly..and i spend $150-$170
maybe your buying to much food for all the different meals..you can buy in bulk and then leave it in the fridge or freezer for a next meal that you may need to use certain food.
save the left over foods so that someone can have it for lunch/dinner the next day.
i think we spend from 3 to 5 hundred dollars a week with a family of five. plus 2 dogs.
I spend $40 a week on a family of 4. I too, use coupons and shop the sale ads each week. I got lucky and have a local grocery store near by that doubles coupons. Like this week they had yogurt on sale for 2 for .89 cents and I had a .25 cent coupon which double and made it .39 cents for 2 yogurts. Thats how I shop. I also base my weekly meals off whats on sale that week and I buy generic on some items..NOT ALL. Like I can’t eat generic mayo…it just ain’t right. I also do the angel food thing each month…www.angelfoodministries.com which helps so much. Oh and I never go shopping hungry.
Of course it could be that your doing everything you can to save money and groceries in Flordia are just more expensive than groceries where I live.
