So, as I embark in my real estate investing dream, I'm starting to analyze every where I spend money. I just read a post about how it was hard for some people to even come up with $400 in case of an emergency. Throughout that post there were several comments about how people were spending their money, and in that they were saying that $200 a month was what they were spending on groceries. Those may only be people who are single, or hsve other circumstances, but it still intrigues my curiosity. So here I am, a husband with a wife and a toddler and we spend about $180 per week between Walmart and Aldis. Now, I know we're not getting only the bare essentials but I don't feel like we're going crazy either. I'm just writing this to see if other families of 3 or 4 can comment on what their normal spending habits are for groceries per week or per month, and maybe I can realize if we're doing something really wrong, or if we're doing okay. I have tried the big box discount Club stores, but the hour drive doesn't seem to offset the two or three dollars I'll save on a 600 pack of paper towel rolls
