So as most may know already I am a single female. I live at home and buy groceries every other week. My Mom buys some but I get what I need. Past budgets I have allocated $50.00 for groceries and $20.00 for eating out each pay period. I definately try to stick to the eating out budget. You can really spend money eating out. Recently, I have been thinking about upping my grocery budget. I spend the majority of my money for packing lunches for work. The rest is for other times. I coupon a little bit but not in a crazy way. I am also very particular about what I eat (not fancy) but I just have some GI issues and also want to be healthy. I love fresh fruit and vegetables which can be pricey. Since the “recession” restaurants have started putting out a lot of BOGO coupons which is nice. The other night I got two BBQ plates for $6.25. Also, my favorite sent out a coupon. Can’t wait to use it!!!
My question is what is your grocery budget? and Are you a member of a wholesale club such as Costco? I am thinking about joining.
