As my kids have grown into a teen and tween who eat as much as adults, I spend about $700/month–this includes anything I buy at the grocery store, so it includes paper and cleaning products. When I don’t plan, I make multiple trips to the store, eat out too often, and most certainly blow our budget. Utilize the Freezer.

Buy in Bulk Apart from using coupons, I advocate buying in bulk when at the grocery store. I do my bulk shopping at the end of the month, so I don’t have to spend too much of my weekly $300 on essential purchases. Store brands or generic products go through the same requirements as brand products but are cheaper.
