At this point, I have no idea really. We were dropping $100 - $150 on groceries every couple weeks BUT a lot of it was processed food, pop, chips, etc that cost a lot on the packaging.
My best tip for reducing your grocery bill is to make a meal plan!! I did that and went shopping for those groceries ONLY. I had most of the meat and a lot of canned stuff already, and was amazed that I was able to buy all the rest of the groceries for $60 (I made a list for a week, but realized I didn't want to cook a different meal EVERYDAY, and those groceries stretched into 2 weeks!). I was seriously amazed & pleased!
A good way to reduce the price of diapers is to go with a store brand. We like Parent's Choice from Walmart. The savings is HUGE, even though the price went up on them. I get a box of 120 diapers for $26 (was $22 until this last trip). For a package of 60 Huggies, the cost is $17!! When you break it down, I was paying only $9 more double the amount of diapers. And seriously, we've NEVER had a problem with the PC brand.... I have no intention of switching!
