So if the goal is $50 per month per person, that would be like $150 for 3 adults and because my kids are 1 and 3, they don't eat much, +$50 for both of them, that should bring me to less than $200/month. Need to look for ways to lower my food bill for another $25. And because I get wic for both kids, I buy less milk and eggs, but food like cereal or cheeze I would never or rarely buy because they are too expencive. So assuming I would have to buy the eggs and milk instead of getting it from wic, I would spend additional $16 or so.
That will give me $200-16=184.
$184, that's my goal for the next month, but I never base my food bill just on a month, because I stockpile, and sometimes I spend like $400/ months, sometimes less than $100. It depends what's on sale and if I have the coupons for the same items. But i think if I would use less meat for cooking and include more rice and beans, it will save me some money.
