My LO is only three months so it's just DH &amp; I eating "real" food &amp; we spend close to $100-$130 a week! That's twice the national average!! He is a HUGE snacker &amp; can blow through groceries in less than a weekend. I've been trying to cut back by stocking the house with fruits &amp; veggies as snacks instead of boxes of crackers, frozen foods, etc. but it's so hard to get him to eat them! He just goes out &amp; spends more money on fast food! I'm not sure how to motivate him to be healthier &amp; more budget friendly lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-save-money-on-groceries#post-1306860 Sun, 29 Dec 2013 22:54:10 +0000 Honeydew 1306860@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We do a combination of meal planning, coupons (manufacturer's and store stack), stock pile the items we use most commonly that go on sale and we can store. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-save-money-on-groceries#post-1306857 Sun, 29 Dec 2013 22:52:24 +0000 BeachMama 1306857@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd really like to start cutting back on our outrageous grocery expenses in the new year and would love to hear your tips on how to do it! </p>
