What does that total include-maybe I missed that part. Is this ONLY food or is this total including cleaning supplies, OTC, personal products & paper products????
If so, you can possibly lower it.
Our only regular paper product is TP--we use cloth napkins, and rags--so no paper towels, paper plates......
I do a lot of cleaning with vinegar, lemon juice, salt and bleach--thats cheaper than windex, comet, air freshners..
Personal products and hair care products I now try to get at the dollar store or walgreen. I match up the coupons, rebates and sales and stock up. Right now I have over 20 shampoos and conditioners in the basement that I got for free-they were on sale for 75 each and I had 75 cent off coupons.
Use an Aldi when you can-they will save you a lot also
