Very eye-opening, and humbling if you're struggling to get that grocery expense down:

I was kinda embarrassed seeing what we eat compared to everyone else.

Wow!! That is crazy! In some countries people are spending 500.00 a week!!! CRAZY and but I also noticed that the LESS the family spent the healthier the food really looked alot less prepackaged and processed food and alot more meat veggies and fruit! EYE OPENING!!

That is very interesting! I can't believe how much pop there is in several of them. I also can't believe the last family and what they ate throughout the week. It does make you think.

The family in North Carolina certainly does not represent my home. Try as I might, I still spend $400 a month. I honestly could not tell you the last time I bought a soda.

Wow! Fascinating.

Did anyone else notice the huge lack of natural (fresh fruits, veggies, etc) items in the American family's week?
