Default Re: Budget Help!

For a family of 2 adults and 2 boys (5&7) mostly organic, we average $300/month for groceries. For eating out, our 3 month average is $250 - but that's slightly inflated by bday dinners (4) and too much travel lately (I include dh's reimbursed travel meals). Without those, we average about $150 for eating out ($25 for meal, one night per week, and 2 meals thrown in for when it's just too hot to cook).

Our 3 month grocery average is also high because we bought a lot of beef from my MIL - a year's supply. We'll see that average go down over the next few months.
