HOW WOULD YOU LIKE YOU YOUR WEEKLY GROCERY BILL TO BE UNDER $100

[BK_Adores_Chase]

The stuff in bold is the important stuff...everything else is my blabbing.

Trust me, I've done research to try and cut my grocery bill, and I've finally come up with a method I've never seen before.  It might take a while for the low grocery bill to take effect, because I have probably about 2 dozen recipes that I cycle through.  Because most of the ingredients I need are on hand, my grocery bill is greatly reduced.   I used to try several different recipes all week long.  That didn't really work for me because some would turn out crappy, then everyone would be grumpy, yadda yadda yadda...not to mention the waste of money on a crappy recipe.  Now I try one new recipe a week.  If we all agree it's good, I add it to the 2 dozen I already have, creating a bigger cycle.  My fiance used to always complain about my food, now not only is my grocery bill reduced, but my home is more peaceful.  My grocery bill, for the past 3 weeks has ACTUALLY been UNDER $70, where as it used to be between $100-$175  BUT...I have WIC, so that also contributes.

My weekly grocery bill is always under $100.  I do like to cook but I don't get real creative very often.  I don't spend that much at the grocery store mostly because I am a single guy and I can eat for pretty cheap while eating at home.

My grocery bill is always under $100. I buy food for my boyfriend and myself, and we usually end up spending less than $150 per month.

My grocery bill hasn't been $100 in a long time. I use coupons when I shop, so that definately helps.

you need to post a few recipes here i always get bored making the same stuff i try and use cpns also now i'm going to savemart because of the game they have going on (the price is right ) i try to get things from the 99cent store  certain things are just expensive like coffee and mayo just ridiculous.

Mine is always under or at 100.We live on a disability check.So we don't really have a lot to spend on groceries.They could drop the prices some.

Would love to see your recipes.  I cook for a family of 7.  I have been using coupons for the past 4 months or so.  That has helped a lot.

Mine is almost closer to less than $100 a month, but I live alone.  I buy many things from the dollar store, which invaribly costs less for things on the shelf.

I usually spend less than $100 a month on groceries.  I am on disability and that is about all I can afford to spend.  I shop alot at the dollar stores, plus I dont pay regular price for anything.  If it isnt on sale, or a dont have a coupon I don't buy it.  I also feel that the prices are way to high, but due to the price of fuel, someone has to pay for the stuff to get to the stores.  So quess what, I guess that means anyone that shops, pays the price.

this is why I love living in the middle of know were with cool neighbors, I think the last time we went to the store we spent about 20 bucks, that was for the personal stuff and a few other things mostly we get are food from the land what we shoot we eat, Squirrel,deer,coon,rabbit,ect. we have a garden and greenhouse so we can get most fruits and veggies from them then we have chickens so we don't have to buy eggs we can get around a dozen or more a day, then are neighbor has around 100 head of cattle,when he butchers a cow he gives us some meat and we give him 4 or 5 dozen eggs and anything from the garden or greenhouse he needs kinda they way it use to be, and still money is tight, I guess I shouldn't complain it could be worse.

My grocery bill is always under $100 because it is just myself and my husband, even when we cook for the whole family it is under $100, we do the coupon thing too.

[acurtsinger2]

use coupons, a long with store sales, and my grocery bill, along with cleaning supplies, toilet paper, beauty products, cat, dog and bird feed is always under $100.   because coupons and store sales change every week, we eat a good variaty each month.
