For a family of 3 we spend about $400 a month on groceries. Unless you factor in our 2 dogs, 2 cats and a rabbit, then its about $500. I have found our grocery bill has actually decreased in the last few months (though only about $50 -$75) and we're not buying less. We have switched to buying cheaper brands on some of the things we use, everything gets made from scratch, and lately most of the stuff I make is enormous, cheap and can be frozen. We also try to eat healthier and don't buy chips or junk food of any kind.
