Interesting article. We have had other threads that have talked about how much we spend on groceries. $400/month is very doable for a family of four. Our family of four manage to do it by going to Aldi for the vast majority of our items instead of a big supermarket chain unlike the author of the article mentioned. Planning a week or month of meals makes a huge difference in keeping costs down. Plus I still manage to buy a lot of fresh fruits and vegetables (unlike the suthor of the article). You just have to buy what is in season and/or on sale.
