@themilehams: Replying to @John6969 At this point, eating out IS cheaper. 😂 We went in for TWO things and somehow spent $847.36. Might as well have taken all 7 of us to a restaurant. 💀 @H-E-B #FamilyOf7 #GroceryShopping #EatingOut #FamilyLife #BudgetDad

Juarez :

I wanted to patch it without spending too much

haileyyyyy_🍉🍉 :

Why…is he throwing things like that…I mean I realize food is expensive, believe me, I do. But why are we throwing food/groceries. If you really want help, start by planning out dinner menus and then lunches. Make your list and then go to the store. But damn, his attitude is not it

TheDuncster1969 :

Buying precut fruit is the stupidest thing ever. 🙄😂

Carrie Nutt :

I find recipes for the week, check my pantry for things I have and make my list from there. This week 7 meals 6 servings each and spent less than $140. This is fresh meat, veggies and not all pasta/rice dishes. I find lots of ideas on here.

Storm 🖤 :

Ohhh he looks mad 😠 and throwing food.

lettydavila612 :

My sisters and I make a grocery list based on our weekly meals. (only lunch meals). So if it's my week to cook. I buy only the items needed for the weekly lunch meals. We are retired and only cook lunches. We are responsible for our own breakfast and dinners. We split everything three ways. Most weeks we spent about 25.00 individually (the grocery bill comes out to about 75.00). If if not our week to cook, we buy our own individual items needed for that particular week (Soap, detergent, etc). Planning out meals helps you organize exactly what will be needed to cook the weekly meals.

Family of 4 here with two of them being teen boys who play football and my husband. You have to meal plan and by things you can use in more than one meal etc. Coupons, stock up on sale items etc. Shop the sales. I didn’t need any more canned vegetables but atom thumb had them for 49cents with coupon. I stocked up as they are shelf stable etc.

Sweetsummer510 :

You buy meats in bulk. Separate and then plan off your frozen meat.

VintageOlive :

So were you just grabbing and putting in cart? Maybe that’s not the best approach here if so, pull that calculator out girl 😂

cortana :

I make a menu for the week. I don't have to have a meal on a particular day but I can make a weeks worth of meals and sides

Mike Clark :

You can’t just go in there and buy what looks good. A plan of what you will make and a list is what you need to do.

Bydesign :

That’s gotta be Texas you get what you voted for

Surviving Life :
