Most sources say you are to figure $100 per person in your household & then add $100 to that to reach your monthly grocery expenses. I can't imagine spending that much!!!
Seems excessive to me, even for a month that includes a ton of holiday meals/cooking and entertaining.
I remember refinancing our house once & the person doing the figuring on the loan automatically used this figure for our food expenses...........I had been keeping great records & could prove to them it was WAY lower than that. But, then he had never heard of making things from scratch or canning..........
