We were probably spending $700-$800/month but we've reduced it substantially to about $450/month. I really have to question those who have kids and say they're spending $300 or less on groceries, diapers, toiletries, etc. I suppose if the family uses cloth diapers and just eats PB&J and hot dogs every day (or they eat out all the time and don't include it in their grocery budget) that could happen, but otherwise I just don't see how it's possible.
