What’s your grocery list look like?

Question

I feel like we are spending way too much money on groceries & struggling to get them to last more than a week.
We don’t have a deep freeze so what we buy is what can fit into our fridge & freezer.
What does everyone’s grocery lists look like? Are you buying weekly or bi-weekly? On average how much are you spending?

Answer

I buy cheaper brands. And shop at aldi before walmart cuz $100 at aldi is like $200 at walmart. And little to no junk food.

Answer

Aldi is the bees knees! $100 worth of food fills up a cart is enough for myself and s.o. for about a month.

Answer

$50 a week on groceries plus another $50 every two months forpaper products. 
Case of waters
Lunch meat

All about shopping smart! Aldi is by far the cheapest around us with the BEST produce.

Answer

It’s insane. Buying organic and healthy for two people is $100-$200 per week in the Okanagan.

Answer

Meal prepping, buying in bulk and cooking in bulk, then freezing helps us save money! We don't have a deep freezer either! I'd would say the majority of what we spend the most on is baby products! But just groceries by themselves, probably about 100-150 every two weeks or more! I can make it stretch pretty far by easily pulling already made meals out of the freezer. We also clean eat so we don't buy a ton of junk!

Answer

I buy weekly and usually spend around $75 
for myself in Vancouver B.C. at the grocery store, butcher and farmers market. These are clean, organic vegetables/fruits with grass fed/organic meat when possible. 
My grocery list is comprised of: leafy greens (boxed), swiss chard, cauliflower, blueberries, mushrooms, peppers, onions, avocados, whatever meat I’m feeling (chicken thighs/ground beef/bison/elk). 
Every couple weeks I buy coconut milk, butter, coffee beans, frozen fruit, sour cream, salsa. 
Every month-two months I buy protein powder, hemp seeds, chia seeds, pumpkin seeds and some type of nut butter. 
It really depends on my recipes but those are the basics!

Answer

For 3 adults (my sister is living with my husband and I), we do a weekly trip to aldi for produce (mostly organic per doctor request on my end), oatmeal, eggs, almond milk, yogurt, cheese and snacks for about $50. Every month I’ll do a Sam’s club run for chicken, meat, fish, frozen veggies, etc to freeze (about $100). Breakfasts usually consist of oatmeal or cereal, snacks are typically fresh fruit/veggies and dry cereal, lunches are salads/deli meat wrapped around a cheese stick, fruit, yogurt and a granola bar or something, and dinners are typically a meat and a veggie.
On average we spend about $250 a month. We do let ourselves splurge (popcorn is a huge weakness in our house), but we try to stick to the basics.

Answer

We budget $140 a week for 2 adults and a toddler who eats almost as much as I do. But that includes diapers (for 2 now😬), dog food, etc. I plan out dinners for the week. I feel like I could get it down farther once I’m past the newborn stage

Answer

I personally allow myself a $200 budget each month. But a lot of those dollars are spent on specialty items like expensive health super foods. But for the most part I by meat veggies and rice/potatoes in bulk and meal prep breakfast lunch and dinner every two weeks. But I know that takes a lot of time. Especially for mommies

Answer

We are a family of 6, but my youngest isn’t eating food yet. We spend about $120-200 a week. I budget very carefully and make sure I have complete meals. My kids eat the same things for lunch everyday, except a variation of fruit and string cheese/yogurt.. but always a pb&j. I make a lot of meals like rice and beans or chili that go a long way. Also, i buy so that we eat the same thing all week for breakfast. So we either do pancakes and eggs all week or oatmeal all week, sometimes they even want French toast sticks and fruit all week.. but it’s always the same thing everyday for that week. We don’t buy juice, we only drink water and milk in my house, that also saves us a lot of money.
