Re: Budget Help!
Food is our biggest expense, other than our house payment. We are a family of 7 and all our kids eat like horses!! I'd say we spend near $700.00 a month on food. That includes grocery store purchases and going out to eat. All my boys, (there are 4 of them) and my daughter play sports, so we are on the road sometimes more than we are at home. I find that going to McDonalds and using the dollar menu is cheaper for us than packing a lunch for them all. I make them drink water and they share fries. Everyone comes out full and we only spend around 15.00 dollars. I don't think that is too bad for a large family of 7....it averages out to a little over $2.00 a piece. I think that fair.
