Default Re: How much to feed a family???

For 2 adults this is what I do monthly.

$100 for groceries
$50 for paper products/toiletries/soaps
$50 for food storage or bulk items
$50 for eating out

This works for the most part. I generally don't spend all of the bulk $$ or the paper $$monthly but let them build and then buy alot at once.
