I always run out of food money by the end of the month (as of today
I'm down to $10 left). I start out with $420 for everything -- food,
diapers, dog food, toiletries, etc. Is this a reasonable amount for a
family of 3 with a small dog? It seems like a lot to me, but with cost
of living going up, I don't know what's reasonable anymore.
How much is your monthly grocery budget? How big is your household?
Thanks!

We spend $300 a month just on groceries. We use specifically $75 a week, we live in a rural area so fresh produce is extremely expensive. I usually only spend $60 a week but we buy all of our meat every 2-3 months. Which makes up the $75 If we were somewhere else it would run about $50 a week including meat. We have another $200 allotted for everything else including gifts. We are a family of 3+ a medium sized Dog.
