People are asking for our weekly menu's again...so, I will begin posting it again. Currently, our grocery budget is about $200-300 a week. We are feeding a family of 9. We buy a lot of things in bulk usually shopping about twice a month, however, recently, I have not had the leisure of shopping this way and have been shopping once a week so our normal $200 budget has increased up to $100 a week by not being able to buy in bulk. Unfortunately, we have not been able to eat as healthy as we used to...this is one of those things I try to improve constantly. I have joined in some couponing groups and hope to learn from these ladies who get so many products free or very cheap as our grocery budget includes toiletries and non food necessities and I've gotten some helpful advice from a few friends on saving money on different things as well. We frequent Sam's Club and we've fallen into the easy trap of processed foods simply because they are cheap, quick and easy. With all but one or two days taken up by sports, it's been very hard recently to have quick and easy healthy foods so I will be trying to change this in the upcoming weeks. We do hope to have a nice size garden this summer and hope that will help with our grocery budget as well!.
