But, we really do try to make good purchases already and we are aware of what we are buying. But, I think it is an area that is harder to grasp and many probably grossly underestimate how much it really takes to feed a family. Yes, we could live on Ramen noodles, but I don't really want to.
I concur. Plus, eating isn't just a simple matter of food -- it involves health, culture, traditions, etc.

If you really want to know what you spend on food, I suggest tracking Quicken or another software program. You can buy them very inexpensively on eBay.
