What are your suggestions for figuring out a food budget for a family of five?
socmum16
I have roughly $300 a month to spend on food.
Answer
Here are some tips I use to save money feeding our family of 6.
Make a list of all of the meals that you and your family enjoy. List the ingredients and find out which items you use most. Find those items in bulk. Sometimes eating on a budget means adding carb laden meals (pasta, rice) Try to keep these meals to a minimum to keep everyone healthy! Also, use leftovers from one night to make a meal the next. My mother is amazing at this. Beef roast one night means beef and noodles the next night or night after. A pot of bean soup means chili the next night....and so on.
We purchase 1/2 a beef every year. We spent around 600 this year, that was the meat and processing. The price works out to around .52 per pound. Amazing! It's nice to have a freezer full of steaks, hamburger, roasts. The beef is so much better than anything you will find in the store and the price per pound is a huge savings. I also try to buy other meats in bulk and on sale. Making this a yearly expense instead of a monthly expense really cuts down on shopping time and cost.
Find a local discount bread store. I spend $.69 a loaf vs $1.30 a month at a regular grocer. With lots of kids making sandwiches and toast this can really add up quick.
Pack lunches. Big money saver and much healthier.
Stop buying packaged cookies. Baking is not only cheaper but makes the house smell great and no preservatives! Make extra dough and freeze it so you can have fresh cookies anytime.
Find an alternative to breakfast cereal. I found a great recipe for granola online and my kids love it with milk in the morning. Bake fresh muffins. Keep frozen fruit like blueberries around and make more than you need, pop them into the freezer. A quick warm up in the microwave in the morning is yummy. My kids and I recently found a recipe for pop-tarts and we'll be trying that soon.
When you find something that you use often on sale, stock up. A few extra bucks when something is on sale will save you money later.
Make breakfast for dinner every couple of weeks. Pancakes or waffles are pretty cheap to make and the kids love the change of pace.
Don't order pizza, learn how to make it! You can make a homemade pizza for about $3.00, ordering one (or two) at our house costs around $25.00.
Make your biggest expense fruits and veggies. My kids tend to snack on carrots, celery, green peppers, cucumber, apples, pears, peaches and popcorn. Buying snack foods can really add up and it's just not healthy.
Try to save money on other store purchases. I found that I was spending much of my budget on shampoo, soap, dish washing powder, laundry items, paper products. I started making a special trip to stores like Family Dollar and Sally Beauty Supply. You can get great deals on household items. I also learned how to make soap. It's a little involved but once you do it, not a big deal. I made a large batch last year, we used it, gave it away in baskets as gifts and I just recently ran out. The total cost to make it was around 15.00.
I hope that helps. I've found many ways to cut down expenses and put more money in savings. All you have to do is really take a look at how you do things now and make some small changes. It's a little more work but I think well worth it for the savings.
Good luck :)
