Atwood said a family of four should spend about $1,200 a month — or $300 per person — on groceries. She has families of three or four members spending $2,000 and more each month.
I know grocery costs can vary a bit between the country, but this is just ridiculous. In my recent post, I stated that my family spends about $450 per month for two adults and two small children. I thought that this amount was still a bit too high and could do with a deeper look to try to save a bit more every month.
Yep thinking the EXACT same thing. I, too, have my wife and two small kids. Well 8 and 9. But we are right at $550 per month for groceries .
Where the heck is $1,200 going to ? Let alone those others who are spending over $2,000 ?? Maybe they are getting high priced Lobster and caviar at the Store lol Who knows ?? But just ridiculous to me.
Thanks for the post @getonthetrain
Don't judge, it's going towards diapers... and booze, mostly diapers though. Oh yeah and condoms... so we do t have to buy more diapers...
Virtuous cycle, you understand right?

Oh, you know once you taste organic oranges hand harvested from the slopes of Bora Bora you can't go back. The guys at work might talk shit about your piddly one from Whole Foods.
