I’ve recently re-started the series, What We Ate this Week on our Budget , because I missed the accountability and I had several readers ask for its return. Our monthly grocery budget for my family of 4 is $500. Dinner #1 (as they call it) is usually a sandwich or leftovers previous nights. Dinner #2 is our actual family dinner.

Every week I share what we ate on our budget. Our montly grocery budget for my family of 4 is $500. But we had a lot to celebrate this week, both my husband and my mother celebrated their birthdays and my daughters hosted some friends for a sleepover. It was still a pricey meal, but we did come home with leftovers.
