re: How much do you spend per week?

Jesus, how do I spend so damn much??? My cart is never even totally full!!! Ugh. Do you all coupon at all?

We spend including diapers, wipes , formula and house hold items around $300 every two weeks. Sometimes a little less .

I think it all depends on where you live really. Here, I can't grow my own vegetables cos the earthquakes have lifted a ton of silt and the soil is just foul. So I can't save money that way.

And NZ is considered one of the most expensive places food wise. So $140 a week is actually not bad.

No..no coupons. i buy bulk as much as i can though. especially with meats.

Some coupons, but it's not ever much. We buy in bulk when it's cheaper, sale shop, meal plan and buy generic.

I save money by buying bulk lots of things like lentils and chickpeas when they are on sale. They are cheaper than meat anyway so when they are on sale it's a lot less money to spend! We eat vegetarian most nights. Saves a lot of money. And SOs NY resolution is to stop buying chips and chocolate and coke so we should save a lot of money this year!

whats your secret???

Quoting 1st Time Mommy-March 8th.:" whats your secret???"

We eat a lot of vegetarian meals and we buy things in bulk.

Oh and SO is some freaking amazing shopper. He does all the shopping. If I do the shopping we end up spending way more and I have no idea how

250-350 a week on all that stuff. Minus diapers I buy them once a month for 30.00 give or take.

We are 4 ppl but 6 all together. My parents buy too but we do separate shopping but everyone uses it. Lol

family of 3.5 and I spend about $400 a month

for 2 adults, 2 kids and a formula fed baby, we spend $700 a month on groceries/formula, sometimes more

ETA: we spend probably about $50 a month on toiletries as well.

Family of 5.
We spend about 200-250 every 2 weeks, thats just food.
If we buy diapers, pull ups and wipes plus toilet paper and whatever extras that is ones a month and we spend 130 on that.
