If you only had $300 a month to use up on meals for a family of four, could you do it? What sort of grocery items would make the list and what would stay tauntingly on the store’s shelves ?

So just how much do you think you could save on groceries? How about $50 or $100? Possibly you could slash your bill by close to 50% if you apply some of the following advice :

The first thing you will need to do is to divide your grocery funds into 3 categories ; weekly, bi-weekly and monthly. After you have successfully accomplished that , try to find a way to make it a reality . If you budgeted too tight, only then consider how much more you really need to spend .

Second, identify your WEEKLY needs most likely items like bread, milk and fruit will fall into this category . These will be your saving graces when the troops are hungry . You can load up every week and always have a healthy snack available . Think about $15/week .

Third, determine what your family consumes in a 2 week time period ; things like lunch meats, eggs, cheese etc . Try maybe $20 or $30 every two weeks.  Go for leaner cuts of meat like chicken and prok as they are generally  cheaper than beef.

Fourth, get the remainder of your food items at one store . Only take a set amount of cash with you (to prevent temptation of over spending) and create a grocery list before leaving for the store . Many times you will only need to actually do this once as most of the items (Cereal, meat etc.) will need to be repurchased each time . Other items (sugar, flour etc.) may be exchanged every other month. In this example you have $200 left.

Fifth, come up with an idea of different dinner dishes you can rotate . Cheap, healthy meals like stir fry can be cost efficient as they use less meat than full pieces of chicken or beef for dinner . Plan to have a meat meal offset by a simpler dish like pasta every other night. This way your family will not go through ‘feast-and-famine’ when they eat like kings the first week and are eating canned chili every night for the last week.

Another obvious thing that will help you lower your grocery costs but in worth mentioning is to always be on the hunt for kroger coupons . 

In conclusion. the $300 suggestion will depend on a number of factors like the size of your family , the age of your children and how much your budget actually allows. Whatever your financial situation , taking the time to draw up a plan and considering your options will help you to keep more cash in your wallet for other important things.
