My grocery bills are always 180.00 and upwards to 250.00 for one week for 4 people. We aren't fat. Stacy and the kids are super skinny. I'm chunky. 20 # overweight. I call it my baby fat. We do not eat out. This is food for breakfast, lunch and dinner for us all week. And for friends/family that drop by.<BR/><BR/>I have no suggestions. Like you, I won't compromise on good quality milk, eggs, meat, cheese and produce. I want my family to live long healthy lives.Tinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08312416207958944255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-706394268101035148.post-59393688323892140842008-04-16T18:23:00.000-05:002008-04-16T18:23:00.000-05:00I think you're doing pretty good. With my family ...I think you're doing pretty good. With my family of 4 I spend close to $150 a week, but that does include diaper, wipes, formula, baby food, etc. On food alone I usually spend between $100 - $120 a week. Unfortunately the items I would suggest you change in order to save are those items that you are unable to change: milk, produce, etc. You're probably already doing this,but I by off brand and in bulk. Too me you're doing a great job!amatthewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05068647354778248224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-706394268101035148.post-51901989828581448182008-04-16T17:00:00.000-05:002008-04-16T17:00:00.000-05:00You are off to a great start!
