Title: How much for groceries?
Post by: BigJerm on September 15, 2008, 10:27:07 PM

So how much do yall spend weekly? Megan got use to grocery shopping with just girl roommates in Columbus and is blown away that our average bill a week is about $100. So is it crazy, 2 folks, 1 medium size dog, can spend $100 a week? For me no, because I am a big boy, I like to eat, but we don't buy the cookies, ice cream, cake, its all real food and we do buy a lot of store brands and are big on the buy one, get one sales.

Same as Chris. I even buy half that in supplements. Eating properly will cost you but so will not eating healthy.

Alright boys... my wife has become an expert at this stuff. She started doing the coupons and doing the CVS extra care bucks and all that stuff that I have no idea about. So long story short, we have 4 in the family and a few, dare I say cats :P to feed. We were spending around $100 or more a week easy. Now we are getting $200 worth of groceries for $100 or under!! It is amazing to me but she does it all with coupons and CVS etc. Crazy! So here is her blog she made with coupons and tips etc. Worth the look over to save some $!!
