This is why we rarely go to the movie theater. This is why we make so many foods from scratch. If that isn’t enough to make a mama pass out.Īnd no. Grand total of what I spend on groceries each month: Local 100% grass fed meat purchased once each year (1/2 beef + whole lamb) = $1,300 per year = $108 per month.Amazon subscribe and save = average $100 per month.Azure Standard = average $150 per month.Local farmers for eggs = $30 (we are spoiled with great egg prices!).Lincoln grocery stores (I go to Aldi and Fresh Thyme Market about once each month) = $250 total.My Grocery Budget Break-Down Average for each Month Therefore all three meals every day for every person in our family (except our oldest son away at college) are eaten at home. Our family schools at home and works from home. We all have different budgets based on needs, family size, prices where we live, grocery store options, and on it goes.Īnd can I just say that I’m very thankful my boys don’t like drinking milk? I think it keeps us from the poor house that they don’t drink it and we only use one gallon each week for cooking. This is not about comparing, feeling better than or less than or anything in between. (Though raise your hand if you skipped all the blah-blah-blah and went right to the bottom of this post to see that part already. So that’s about all I can babble about before I share the actual numbers. We get eggs, milk, and beef/lamb from local farmers.

I order from Tropical Traditions when they have free shipping mixed with great sales. I order from Azure Standard, our health food co-op. We have one local grocery store (not a chain, not great prices) and a Super Walmart that I hit in town each week (except for the week I go to Lincoln). I go to Lincoln for a doctor appointment about once each month, so while there I hit Aldi and Fresh Thyme Market (my absolute favorite!). For the sake of budgeting though, you’ll see when I crunch the numbers below that I’ve divided the total meat amount by 12 months. We’re hoping that will last us an entire year, but I don’t have my hopes up. For instance, we recently bought a half beef and a whole lamb.

I buy food from about 7 different sources, so adding it all up and averaging it all out is a bit of a challenge. It’s also because, even though Asa lives on campus and eats most of his meals at the cafeteria, we feed extra college kids when Asa brings his friends home (and I love it so much that I would feed the whole campus if he brought them to our table).

I think it’s because our other boys keep getting bigger and eating more. If anything, it increased (someone please hand me a tissue). I wondered how our budget would change once our oldest went off to college a year and a half ago.

My teenage boys would not get full if I fed us differently (they are athletes and they need food with substance).But I’m not going to do any of those things at this point, and here’s why… I could spend less each month by making a few changes in what I purchase. I could feed us beans and rice more often. Here’s the truth about my grocery budget: I could cut back here and there. But you guys? That’s how much it costs to feed my family PER DAY. I’m happy for them, and it’s all well and good that those women are able to feed their families for such a small amount. Why am I sharing our grocery budget numbers? Because I’ve been seeing a lot of posts recently shared by women who feed their families for just $37 per week. (Matt and I are 43, but that’s entirely beside the point.) It’s a lot bit different than it was when our kids were little. I decided it was time for me to write an updated post sharing details of our family’s average monthly food budget. Curious what I spend on groceries each month?
