[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 707394, member: 6705"] Copa, I am terrible about budgeting. However, I can tell you I spend about $350 a month on groceries. That includes my medications, toilet paper and tampons, shampoo and conditioner and soap, plus cat and dog food (and they eat better than we do I swear). Probably $150 goes to non-food items. The other $200 covers me, Bill and Rose on a daily basis. We probably eat out 1 time a week, but that's not included there. Bill and I have the "Capitan Shopping List" app. I adore it. He adds something to the list, it shows up in mine. And vice versa. I tend to buy large packages of items and then divvy up - 5 lbs of chicken became 3 meals' worth. 10 lbs of ground beef = 5 meals. Some I freeze, some I can - I do the canning when things are REALLY cheap. I paid $1.88 a pound for 15 pounds of ground beef and browned, drained and canned it plain - tacos, spaghetti, chili, sloppy joes, lasagna... stew beef gets really tender in the canning process... Shredded and chunked chicken, pork loin, tamales. [/QUOTE]
