[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 498528, member: 84"] I was feeding a family of 5 up until 2 yrs ago, so yeah, pretty much. AND that wasn't just food, either, but toilet paper and such. Until couponing I only shopped twice a month, period. If we ran out, we were out until the next payday. I spent 300.00 per month for a family of 5, dog food and cleaning supplies included. We did not go hungry in the least. (or else husband would not have been so overwieght) It's a budget I set like 20 some years ago and just never changed, I made it work. I think right before husband passed it went up to 400 per month and I nearly passed out. But from what I've seen in the past 4 months, he was eating the bulk of the food being brought into the house. Not junk food, I rarely buy junk foods. Although I know at the moment food prices are steadily climbing UP. I've been watching meat prices like a hawk for the sales. Grabbed up a bunch today too. My freezer is full. lol That will last me and Travis forever, especially since I'm going to be incorporating more beans and rice into our meals. Sugar jumped what, like a buck in a month? omg Peanut butter is no longer cheap. [/QUOTE]
