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. Designate one night a week as “raid the fridge’ night to get rid of leftovers. Related Reading: 9 Easy Places to Find Grocery Coupons.
