I have 6; so I am feeding 8--all day long because we homeschool. I still manage to keep my groceries under $100 (just barely now)most weeks without going to that many places. I often shop a small store in San Antonio called Sun Harvest; the rest comes from Walmart. Our Albertsons closed a few years ago. Sams is right next door to Walmart; so I can buy bulk there. But I don't go every week. You have to be careful of their prices. I Cannot go organic; the funds just aren't there, but we eat lots of veggies and have a healthy diet overall.

I shop once a week and have dairy and eggs delivered from local co-ops. Some things cost a little bit more, but we waste less and have far less recycling to do because our milk comes in glass bottles, and that was pretty much our last bastion of recycleables. It's entirely necessary to consider the global cost of items, not ONLY your pocket book, also the health risks and the societal issues that a person faces when shopping at a store that promotes profit over people. For two grown adults, we spend about $50/wk on food. If it's all organic, it's about $75. Sometimes we can't afford organic; that's just ow it goes. We buy local first, organic second, international rarely if ever. And never ever do we purchase anything we know to be genetically modified. If we could just follow France's lead...

I am going to have to share yet ANOTHER one of your GREAT posts on my blog! :) I usually have a grocery list for the weeks menu and then go shopping, but then I find great deals and add that and come right to (and even at times go just over) the budget. I believe that if I make a menu based on what I already have, THEN make a grocery list for items on sale and coupons and such and STOCKPILE then I can do better!! :) Thank you so much for sharing this and for your blog!!! :) OH I LOVE THIS!!

The first, she uses more often and when she has time, and the second is for when life gets crazy. She uses the Grocery Game to quickly learn the best possible deal scenarios in her area, and plans her shopping with that. When there’s no time for that, she uses Menus4Mom to throw together a menu for her. She spends about $100 per week, and thinks that will go down as her pantry supply grows.
