It's definitely hard. Especially with a large family... our budget is about $500 for our family of 7 and my teen and preteens eat so much 😅. Lots of simple meals and not much meat, but we make due!

[@PenniesAndSalt]

That's sounds like you are doing great with the budget! It can be so tough right now with some of the prices.

[@GoodPersonTestWebsite]

Yes we used to eat a lot more organic than we can now. We just have to trust in the Lord and provide nutrients the best we can. ❤

[@homeschoollifemom]

Same here! I just can’t do it anymore with how much groceries have gone up! I prioritize a few things to buy organic but mostly I don’t.

[@jessicapullara4759]

With prices increasing as they are we have had to forgo our usual organic options for non-organic. I just keep praying and thanking the Lord that He is our healer and protector and put our trust in Him. ❤

[@simplejoyfilledliving]

I need to evaluate our grocery budget too. I try to do Sam’s once per month for meat and that helps some, but prices are insane right now.

[@thepracticalhomeschooler]

We’re reconfiguring ours as well and think it will have to go up too! You’d be doing great to get it at $800 for a family of 8!

[@Well-DoingMomma]

Always a balance with groceries i like/need somw convience items and they help keep me from wanting to eat out. But its so expensive. We are at about 1000 for our family of 10.

[@PiningOverHome]

It’s definitely a balance of what’s most important to spend extra money on and sticking to the budget. Thinking I might have to stop doing delivery and actually spend that saved money shopping IRL 😱😂

[@oursweetiebirdshome]

This looks very similar to the things we get at Costco too! Loved watching!❤

[@PenniesAndSalt]

Thank you! How are you guys?

[@Jolene03]

I feel ya on having to give up on the organic things here and there. I used to eat only all organic and now. . .ehhhh cant really afford that route anymore! But, thankfully our garden helps a LOT! And yea! Sometimes i have to remind myself, yes, these convenience items are a little more pricey, but - when I'm in a pinch, its either that or we have to eat out which is more expensive. So, those are nice to have as options! Praying your procedure goes well! ❤️❤️

If you are willing I would love for you to share a video of meals you eat in a week. Our current grocery budget is $1,200 for a family of 7. I’m looking for ways to cut that down. I would to see some cheaper meal ideas. Thanks!

[@billa6735]

Eggs and cheese are your best friend. Especially from ALDIs. I make keto chaffle sandwiches and buy ground beef from a local butcher in my area. Comes out to right under $3 for the burger diy. Unfortunately, that is considered inexpensive these days because inflation is so high. Sometimes I feel like going back to live in my parents country. I can eat like a king on $5 a day over there… 2-3 meals eatting out

[@linetteuong1564]

I spend that on 2 people but that’s everything good and non food per month and my son takes his lunch to school and I take mine to work

[@ceciliacalvin263]

I don’t know where in your budget stuff like paper towels and toilet paper and cleaning supplies are, but I personally would buy a year’s worth in one go. Of course you need a place to store it all, but if planned out right you’ll have a better use of your money. Me, I don’t drive but I have half a closet full of toilet paper and paper towels. Nearly ran out during that first lockdown. Never EVER again. 😉 For rice, do you have any ethnic grocery stores near you? Check out their prices. Especially Latin/mexican and India Indian stores.?those two cultures eat tons of rice.

[@kristarockwell3977]

In Canada for a family of 7 (and I operate a day home) my grocery bill is around $1200 USD a month…I have no idea how you’d do it for $800…

[@stephanien1764]

Ugh I spent twice that much on groceries last month for my family of 6 in California 😟 😥 Prices are ridiculous and it's making it impossible to save for anything extra.

[@PenniesAndSalt]

Oh man! That's so tough! I'm definitely having to make concessions on something we would normally buy. Its definitely making me look forward to gardening season.

[@thekangaline2914]

I'm trying my best to get our budget down. We used to keep it under $800 and that has definitely gotten almost impossible.

[@PenniesAndSalt]

It can be hard right now for sure!

[@MitchellsonaMission]

We make meatball subs with those frozen meatballs.They are delicious

[@PenniesAndSalt]

That is definitely something we've talked about doing one night. I just can't believe how big the bag is! LOL I had no idea it came with so many.

If you can let me know what county/state you're in, I can help give you some numbers to try for your food budget. If you don't want to share that here I understand and I can email you instead. I've been budgeting for years so I like to figure things out like this.
