We are a family of 5 and we have 2 boys and a girl,ages 3,7 and 11.Lately it seems impossible to keep the cupboard stocked enough to keep them full!We have big lunches,and definetely huge suppers and they still eat me out of house and home!Last month I kept track of all my grocery bills and I came in at just over $1200 cad!I was just wondering what you gals spend on groceries and does anyone have the same pro?Thanks in advance.

Yeah, I normally shop at Super Wal-Mart. The amount I save there is shocking!


I also forgot to add that DH and I get a side of beef every year from my parents (they raise cattle) so we don't have meat expenses like most people.

We shop at SuperKmart. My husband works there so we get a discount on groceries. We usually spend about $320.00 a month on groceries. I don't factor in eating out. It is usually when it is extremely hot out and I don't feel like cooking. This is all for a family of 3. I make meal plans then write out a list before shopping. If there is a really good sale I will buy extra stuff. You can usually find good deals around the holidays. Pre-packaged food will easily add to your bill also.
