Please do one for 2025 ❤
I have 6 children, and Hubby is an over the road semi truck driver….. what do you think is a realistic weekly amount for my family?
We spend 20-25% on groceries and household. Why? Because I’m not poisoning my family to save more money.
There's no way I can spend $120 every two weeks on food for 2 adults and 6 kids. I'm sorry! 15% just won't cut it! 😭
Love the categories, thx!
6:58 I do NOT agree about the generic pet food. Pet food ingredients can be VASTLY different by brand and pet food is one of those areas where the store brand stuff isn’t great. I’m not saying you need to go grain free or whatever but some pet foods are objectively worse than others. Just do homework first. What may be the healthier food just might not be the cheapest or most expensive.
No way. A set percentage is not the right way to decide how much to spend, and saying a percentage will make people spend too much. Instead, meal plan and cook from scratch (buy real ingredients, prep them yourself, stop with the convenience foods). We had a family of four (now we are newly empty nesters) and we never spent more than about $75-$100 a week at the grocery store, even with me being gluten free. And I cook real, balanced, healthy meals. We spend less now with just two of us. We do eat out some. But even with that there is no way we've ever spent what you're suggesting is normal or average. I shop almost exclusively at Aldi. I've stopped going to club stores. I don't use coupons because it's all stuff we shouldn't eat anyway. And we plan for and eat leftovers to avoid food waste.
Thank you Rachel!!! I appreciate you so much!
Do grocery budgets include all the other items from the grocery store like paper & cleaning products?
how much should i spend on groceries?
'as much as i want.' what a controlling
question. we are not children out here,
you tell us not to compare , but here u r.
What things would you recommend getting from Aldi? What things are worth it to go there to save?
Ea week I set a budget of approximately $100 (per week). I grab the most essential stuff and whatever I have left over I get the 2nd tier stuff on my list and make sure I walk out with no more than $100 worth of groceries. I have control over my finances
Oh the Costco street corn❤
We are a family of 4 living in the Bay Area and spend 600$ buying in COSTCO
Weirdly enough, the generic brands now days are better quality than name brand.
Sad but true
To make meal planning easier I created a Meal Planning board on Pinterest. Whenever I find a recipe I want to add to my weekly meal plan, I save it to my meal planning board! That way it’s so much easier to find when I need to make my grocery list or start supper!
I love your energy in making these videos.
Please do an updated grocery video with 2023 prices!
Hello love the concept. Except we are a family of 12 have several that are gluten free, a few that are dairy free, one that can not eat legumes. Several that have to be non gmo, suggestions. My menus are based on what’s on sale, what’s in season and so on
Help!! My wife is crazy. My income is $8,000 a month and she spend $3,000 a month on grocery. She buys foods to throw it away.
I’d love to be able to budget in a restaurant visit 😢
As a family of 3 (two adults and an infant and 3 cats), we spend 1200/month
Weekly budget is x amount, plan food required for meals, never spend more than x amount. When you have coupons don't count them as recovered money in your grocery budget, this means you wont spend that recovered money and it can be put away towards savings.
Rachel/ Dave please help me. I’m retired as is my husband. I have retirement funds of about $350K. We use our Credit card and pay it each month. Have mortgage $88K and loan on RV which we use in FL about 4 months in winter ($88K bal). No car loan. My mortgage is HELOC and the interest rate is variable right now. I don’t know how to pay these off. I have a loan with care credit (interest free ) for 24 months for medical expenses.
I don’t know how to proceed. Can you help me
What would be a good food budget for a single person over 60 living in Florida
Shop on the outside walls of the grocery store, and learn to cook. You'll spend less and your diet will be more nutritious.
guys, guys, guys i think it was 15 times….aw man! these videos are so dynamic, effective, helpful, fun, but i wince wheneve I hear it over and over ….
Aldi, dairy, fruit, meat, chips all great quality and like 1/2 cost even cookies and dessert great pricing, not name brand items not good pricing there-Aldi ice cream also yummy, chips 1/2 price and good, canned veg. 1/2 price, peanut butter is the best even better than jif
I always tell my wife when she asks if some we bought was worth it, I always respond that a subjective question, the real question is was it worth it to you
Planning meals helps save a ton. I shop at Aldi's and other discount stores. Also I found local growers and pay them in cash. Find local beef and pig farmers who will sell to you in bulk. Worth the cost of the freezer. One framer we found sells organic beef WAY cheaper than a store cost.
Thanks for sharing 😍🙌🌼🌻🌺🌹🏵
