I recently read that a good guideline for food for a family is $100 per person per month (unless you are a family of 1-3, then a little more). I was thinking about our lifestyle and how to make this work. We generally buy half a cow every year (1200 approx), and two pigs for our freezer (500 approx). We don’t buy much more meat, but we do buy chicken and stuff like pepperoni and chicken nuggets. If we factor in those huge meat purchases, that leaves us with about 100 a week for our family of six. Does that seem pretty doable? I’ve been spending more than that for a long time, but we challenged ourselves to $80 a week in January and it’s seemed okay. Just trying to see longer term. We have kroger locally, sams, Costco, aldi and Meijer further away, but I don’t mind going here and there.
