If you’re a regular follower, you know that we try to keep our weekly grocery budget to around $100/week for six people. You can see last week’s menu here and last week’s shopping trip here.
A few readers have asked if the $100 covers all of our food for the week. It usually does except for special occasions when we spend money from our entertainment budget on food for the family.
This week, for example, we had an unplanned field trip opportunity which was 2 hours away. I spent an extra $11.00 on snacks and drinks for the trip and we spent $15.00 to eat out at a fast food restaurant. This money came out of our entertainment budget, so it won’t count in the $100 grocery budget for this week.
Most of the time, however, the $100 covers all of our food for the week.
