I don't have my most recent receipt, but for our family (DH, myself, DD3 and DD1) I try my best to stick to $170/week. And that is no diapers or anything. Just food. Holy moly. I am blaming Canada being more expensive.

I love them but they're two dollars EACH at our normal grocery store, whereas regular pears are $1.70/lb. I need to hit up one of our Asian markets again soon :) pinkcupcake on "Share your $100/week grocery list" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-your-100week-grocery-list#post-549404 Mon, 04 Feb 2013 17:35:26 +0000 pinkcupcake 549404@https://boards.hellobee.com/ This is so helpful. We used to be great about budgeting and keeping our weekly grocery costs at $100 or less, but after LO, I've gotten so busy that it's fallen to the wayside (although it should be more important now!). Mrs. High Heels on "Share your $100/week grocery list" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-your-100week-grocery-list#post-549366 Mon, 04 Feb 2013 17:05:55 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 549366@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We spent about $80 this week on groceries - not bad for us! We almost always get our produce at the Asian market because it's SIGNIFICANTLY cheaper there than other supermarkets. I think it's because they don't have unions. Produce: - Grapes (bag) - $6 - Celery - - Red onions (2) - Apples (5) - Mandarins (box) - $5 - Bell pepper (1) - Carrots (bag) - Red potatoes - Russet potatoes - Cabbage (1) - Asian pears (5) - Oranges (6) - Limes (6) - Jalapenos (3) Meat: - Thick-sliced bacon (2 packs) - $8 - Ground pork (5 lbs) - $5 - Bone-in NY steak (3) - $9 Other: - Sliced almonds - $3 - Lite Mayo - $3 - Creamed Corn (2) - $2 - Whole Corn (2) - $2 - Tomato Sauce (2) - $2 - Soda (3-12 packs) - $9 We buy stuff like milk, bread, chicken, and eggs in bulk at Costco, which isn't included here... but those things would probably get us to about the $100 price-point this week for groceries. heffalump on "Share your $100/week grocery list" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-your-100week-grocery-list#post-549313 Mon, 04 Feb 2013 16:35:17 +0000 heffalump 549313@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @Silva: thank you!

The following includes our groceries for three dinners (we already have the ingredients for one, and will probably get take-out on Friday), as well as all our breakfasts, lunches and snacks for the week. We buy as much organic, naturally-raised food as we can find. Here's what's on this week's list: -3 hot Italian sausage -1 pork tenderloin -1 strip loin steak -4 strips side bacon -2 chicken breasts -1 bag pasta -2 zucchinis -2 red bell peppers -mushrooms -salad greens (1 bag romaine, 1 bag organic mixed greens) -1 bag baby spinach -1 container cashews -scallions -garlic -ginger -chicken broth -almond milk -goat cheese -1 dozen eggs (organic) -1 red onion -2 avocados -1 cucumber -1 bag of navel oranges - 500 ml plain, full-fat Greek yogurt -1 bag frozen berries -2L milk (organic) -3 apples Menu: -Pasta/zucchini "pasta" with sausage, peppers, mushrooms and vodka sauce -Nachos (already have ingredients on-hand - DH prepped them for Superbowl, but we didn't eat them) and salad -Pork and cashew stir-fry -Steak salad -Green smoothies (breakfasts) -Salad with hard-boiled eggs, chicken, veggies, bacon and avocado (lunches) ETA: Just got home from the store.

We also had to buy maple syrup (we're Vermonters, its a necessity) which added 20 bucks to the trip. The total was 107.00 (this is a fairly standard price, just the things we bought this week were a little different). I should add that I do all our shopping at the local co-op, and buy almost all organic (and local when available). I think if I did our shopping at a regular supermarket I could bring the cost down a bit, but I like supporting the co-op. Here is our menu, and then the groceries I bought: Breakfasts: English muffins w/ peanut butter or oatmeal, orange juice, coffee lunches: leftovers snack (for me, pregnant and hungry): Greek yogurt Monday dinner: leftover artichoke & spinach dip w/ pasta Tuesday dinner: Green curry with chicken, peas, broccoli Wednesday dinner: sweet potato soup & goat cheese biscuits Thursday dinner: black bean, feta, and cole slaw tacos List: canola oil - 3.00 small laundry detergent (we needed something a little stronger than our usual Seventh Gen.) - 2.00 1/2 gallon milk (local) - 2.00 quart buttermilk - 2.00 maple syrup (local) - 20.00 orange juice - 4.00 can coconut milk - 3.00 4 6-oz Greek yogurts (local) @ 1.00 ea. bag frozen peas - 2.00 package 8-in whole wheat tortillas - 3.00 4 navel red oranges - 2.00 1 red pepper - 3.00 1 purple cabbage - 5.00 1 bunch scallions - 1.00 1 bunch broccoli - 5.00 3 sweet potatoes - 5.00 1 red onion - 2.00 bunch bananas - 3.00 1 bunch basil - 2.00 1 pkg chicken breast (local) 14.00 1 pkg whole wheat English muffins (local) - 3.00 4-oz goat cheese (local) - 4.00 1 lb whole wheat penne (bulk) - 3.00 1/2 lb coffee (bulk) - 6.00 edited to add- I included prices with some generous rounding T.H.O.U. on "Share your $100/week grocery list" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-your-100week-grocery-list#post-548839 Mon, 04 Feb 2013 13:50:31 +0000 T.H.O.U. 548839@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @BabyBoecksMom: Yea, I didn't get any bread or lunch meat this trip, so I guess we are eating left overs this week. That alone adds a bit to the weekly budget. Do you try to shop the B1G1 stock up sales? I try to buy all my rice/couscous/cereal during those times. I try to shoot to buy enough for 4-6 weeks which will last me until they go on sale again.

We usually get enough for 4 meals and get sushi or pizza for the last night: 4 fresh veggies (green beans, baby spinach, asparagus, broccoli, corn sweet potatoes, zucchini) Tomatos Avocados 4 meats/seafood Couscous Black beans 1 gallon milk 1 dozen eggs 1 lb deli meat Shredded cheese Sliced cheese 2 boxes of cereal 1 loaf of bread Sour cream Coffee Coffee creamer Protein bars Oatmeal ... I think that's usually it.

I thought it would be interesting to see what everyone else buys on a weekly basis. I try to limit to one shopping trip on Sundays. My total was $115, a bit over our budget but we really stocked up being the start of the month. We live in Florida. I already had 2 packs of chicken breasts, 2 packs of organic ground beef, and 1 piece of salmon in the freezer. Shredded Cheese (2) - $4 Chobani Greek Yogurt (13) - $13 Lamb Shoulder - $7 Ribeye Steak (2) - $24 Chop Steak - $10 Turkey Sausage (LO breakfast) (2) - $3 Cream Cheese - $1.50 Gallon Whole Organic Milk - $6 Dzn Eggs (not organic) - $2 Ritz crackers (2) - $4 Artichoke hearts - $3 BBQ Sauce (2) - $2.50 Chex Mix (2) - $2.50 Grapefruit (1) - $1 Onion (1) - $1 Green Bell Pepper (1) - $1 Salad Mix (2) - $5 Sweet Peppers - $2.50 Corn (5) - $2 Sweet Potatoes (3) - $1.50 Bananas (8) - $2.50 Spaghetti Squash - $4 Strawberries - $2.50 Mandarins - $8 Basically, I got our weekly staples (milk, eggs, yogurt, fruit) plus 4 dinners of red meat. If I just got that I would have for sure been under $100, but I bought a few things for snacks that were on sale.
