We are spending closer to $700 per month on groceries - if you see my blog. I think that May may have included a weeks worth of groceries from April. I know that we spend a fair amount on meats as my husband is a big eater and a big meat eater. I do clip coupons and try to use those whenever possible but as another Cdn mentioned, our coupons here just aren't the deals that you get in the US. And I take advantage of BOGO whenever I can. We buy a fair amount of fresh foods - very little frozen or prepackaged stuff. But I have to admit that I'm pretty brand conscious about some products. There is certainly room for improvement though. I do look at flyers but typically just for the grocery store that we frequent. I don't tend to shop around from store to store unless I'm going to be there for something else.
Thanks to everyone for your suggestions and comments.
