The Grocery Budget Challenge

Different HTs have different prices. In any case, the days of us spending $50/wk on groceries are long gone. It's more likely to be about $200/wk even with Cyd being a superstar shopper. That number has been creeping up from about $150 earlier this year.

Including our monthly run to the butcher shop, we were consistently averaging about $250/wk…including diapers and wipes from Amazon. Over the last quarter, we’re knocking on $300/wk. Wasn’t that long ago we were at $150/wk +/- $50.

We gave up the horizon milk a few years ago. Wife always bought the omega 3 version for the kids.

Yeah…’fancy milk’ happened some time around the time kids started showing up in my house. Started with Fairlife for some reason, and switched to Horizon a couple years ago. I’m not a fan of the Omega…has a weird bitter taste to me…but I do think the stuff I posted is better than the standard plastic jug stuff.

I never drank it, agree it had a weird taste. We always had the cartons of horizon and a .5 gal of store brand 2%.

My rough estimate is that the dollar has been devalued about 40pct in the last year.

I'm thinking closer to 50% but it's hard to say and we're definitely in the same rough order of magnitude. 5% is a lie to keep the peasants happy. To keep on topic, it's like labeling milk "whole" instead of 3% :laughing:
