What are you allowing for the month for groceries?

What all is included in it?

How many people in your family?

I'm so bad, I didn't even keep track for Feb. No excuse, just lazy.

For March, 250.00 including food, hba, paper products. I feed 5 everynight, sometimes 7 depending on what day it is.

We are a family of 6. Our grocery budget is $475/month. That includes everything...food, HBA, cat food, etc. We also budget $100 for eating out and $100 for school lunches. I would love to lower this or even keep within it. It is definitely an area of weakness for me. I am hoping that posting on here will hold me accountable.
