How long does food last in your house?

Question

Curious how many people live in your home, how much $ per week is spent on food, how long does the food actually last in that week? It’s just my husband and I. I bought groceries yesterday morning, he ate pretty much a whole box of triscuits in a day. They were gone by lunch today. He’s trying to lose weight and we are trying to stick to a strict budget. What do I do?! 😫

Answer

It’s just me, my fiancé, and our three month old. I am in charge of shopping and meal planning. I can make $150 last two weeks. I live off coupons, lol. 
I’m guessing your husband might be the snacking type of guy? Demolishing a box of triscuits sounds like snacking behavior and mindless eating. Try encouraging him to eat healthier alternatives.

Answer

You need to have a talk with him about portion control if he’s eating an entire box or crackers himself in 24 hours. That won’t help him lose weight. 
You need to mention the budget

Answer

I don’t shop weekly, but there’s 3 of us and we spent probably $250-$300/month. 
Now with summer it might be a little more cause of more fruit being in season. I do a couple big orders a month and fill in the gaps when needed.

Answer

Family of 6 here. We spend about 1100 a month on food and eat out occasionally. Now that my boys are out of school that cost will definitely go up.

Answer

I shop weekly but I have two young kids that eat a lot of fruit 😆😅 so I go to Costco like once a week and spend $200-$300. Some weeks are less and some are more, just depending on what we need. But that’s for everything, including home products like paper products and detergents and diapers. 
Some things last us months like dry pantry products (oats, flour, rice, ect.,) but then other things, like perishables, we run out of quickly (butter, milk, eggs, fruit and veg)- so it just depends. 
If it makes you feel any better, I bought a Costco sized thing of strawberries yesterday and they are literally almost gone already 😂

Answer

It me, my husband, 16 year old and 13 year old. We spent a minimum of $200 a week, usually closer to $250. Nothing lasts more than a week. We go through 3 gallons of milk a week.
