I’m a analyzer, but somehow never analyzed my grocery budget like I was getting ready to. Amazingly enough, I realized that $650/month for 5 people was way too much. We can easily, and comfortably get by on less than half that.
And, we do not even notice a difference.
If anything else, we have much more than before. And, if I don’t have it, I’ll almost guarantee you that I can whip it up. Mine will taste better, too.
Here are some of the posts that I have done previously about cutting your grocery spending:

I definitely agree with you that trimming the grocery budget is the easiest, least-painless way to save money. Really, it just takes a little creativity and willingness to work a little bit harder.
I am so impressed with how much you were able to cut off your budget. Over half is just awesome! Good job!

I just started coupons as well, about a year actually. We have cut way back on all spending and are on a cash only system now.

I’ve been couponing for a while using the Grocery Game but this year I have gotten quite serious about cutting money everywhere so thanks for sharing. It’s fun to read that others are saving as well.
