As my kids have grown into teenagers who eat as much as adults, I spend about $800-1000/month–this includes anything I buy at the grocery store, so it includes paper and cleaning products. Seriously, my kids claim hunger ALL.DAY.LONG. You’ll be thankful later. That is a lot of money, so I plan our meals.

I vividly remember him saving his change all year and having us kids roll it for vacation. Buying generic will not only save you money, but you may even find new (and more affordable) products that you love! EVERY time that I do this, I come out ahead. My husband loves fishing and needs minnows and tackle every time he goes out.

We don’t eat out often, but I like to cook.
