Food Budget: We decided to start tracking how much we spend on food/household expenses each month again in hopes to budget appropriately. Wanting to keep our budget at $100 per person each month. We are a household of 4 adults, 1 growing boy who eats like an adult.
March 3/30/14
Aldi – $149.64
Walmart – $136.88
Sam’s Club – $215.13
Total of food : $ 501.65 = $ 100.33 per person or $ 250.82 per week on groceries.
This is our big shop of the month – this happens every other time. We buy three cases of protein drinks and other things Grandpa needs each month. This time we also added some Easter Candy to fill eggs for Church. But I am thinking it will average out for the month, hopefully???
