I am over budget so I will need to stretch the meals to last for 5 weeks, which will bring our budget down to 102.91/week to feed our family of 6.
Hopefully, due to finding some meat on sale at Sam’s our food budget for April should be less.
I feel good if I can keep my budget around $150/week for our family of 8. When I consider that all 8 of us are eating 3 meals a day on that budget, I think it’s pretty reasonable. I live 120 miles away from a big city, so once a month we make a huge purchase at Costco and Walmart. Otherwise I have found that the price for food is easily 27% more in our community.
I am tweeking my grocery budget right now… good you keep records and know what you are spending.
