We spend about $450 a month for a family of four and that includes: food, toiletries, paper products, and food/bedding for our pets (1 rat and 6 chickens)<BR/>:)<BR/>I have been reading all of your posts because it's very interesting and straightforward. :)Sharing Thoughts on Things I Lovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18245706753992881725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8600248025662223449.post-89952516328686641372008-05-14T19:09:00.000-07:002008-05-14T19:09:00.000-07:00Yep, sometimes my 'meals' are more like snacks.

So, on evenings when I just have some soup or a sandwich (or both), I've probably gorged on crackers or carrots or some other treat earlier in the day. <BR/><BR/>As for cleaning supplies, these are included in the grocery bills, but not everything needs to be purchased each month, and I do shop at a grocery outlet, which means those items are really, really cheap. Shampoo, makeup, etc, normally I don't include with my grocery budget because I don't buy those things when I'm shopping for food (unless I'm at the grocery outlet). I'll use coupons/rebates and buy them separately---those types of items are always going on sale, and they're cheaper at places like RiteAid, Walgreens, and such, rather than a regular grocery store.Finally Frugalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12273720976098302248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8600248025662223449.post-30697788664352596622008-05-14T17:20:00.000-07:002008-05-14T17:20:00.000-07:00That does seem pretty sparse!

What about toiletries and cleaning supplies? Where do you budget for those?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8600248025662223449.post-80504397854642052652008-05-13T09:41:00.000-07:002008-05-13T09:41:00.000-07:00Thanks for sharing this!

I will just keep trying to whittle it down...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
