Ranging from $600-700 a month for our family of 5, but that includes all household supplies (cat food, cleaning stuff, cosmetics, etc.), diapers for 2 kids and formula for our infant.

Before kids and a house, the 2 of us were around $300-$350 a month.

For a family of 4 i try to get it to 400 but not always.

I think most people overspend in this category and a few tweaks could save a crazy ton of money.

520 for two? Wow.

 

Honestly, mine is quite a bit higher than that just for the two of us, if I had to guess.

 

I cook very good food though, and drink expensive beer and wine.

ya...probably close to a grand per month here too...three of us full time in the house but between my older daughter and her boyfriend coming over and my other daughter's friends...it never goes as far as you think it would!

 

we buy a side of beef from a friend every year...so that really helps the monthly bills.

I would say at least about $350 a month for 2 of us plus my daughter 3 days a week. 

 

What pisses me off is I can't seem to stop at a grocery store for bread, milk and a 6 pack of beer without walking out spending $75. Groceries skyrocketed due to "high gas prices" but they sure as Hell didn't decrease at all when gas prices fell. 

 

I'm going to start hunting, raising pigs and cattle, and making my own beer. Fug a Harris Teeter!

check out options for buying beef direct from the rancher...way cheaper and typically way better meat as well.

 

 

I bought a few cuts awhile back from a rancher and they advertised 100% all natural, grass fed, organic and all that other healthy stuff and to be honest it was terrible. I think I like my beef stuffed with hormones. (there is a joke in that statement somewhere I am sure)

 

I may need to try again with another local place. Do they usually butcher meat also?

ya...not going to touch that one!!!

 

I buy mine direct from the rancher....she sends it to their butcher of choice and I just tell the butcher what I want down with it.  We've been buying from these guys for a few years now and they are fantastic...non certified organic.  Cuts with a fork!!  it's fricken delicious is what I'm saying...and cut thick...mmm mmm good

 

oh...sorry...what were we talking about again?

Check out the Peach Stand in Ft. Mill.

You can buy food plans from them and they have good meats that are local and healthy.

      If they lose the last three......

      By frankw · Posted

      I presented that scenario because this is a home game and we seemed to have improved in some capacity in that area as of recently. The problem with the possibility of sweeping the Bucs is this team has had a habit of quickly falling victim to momentum shifts. The Bucs are coming off a bitter loss the same as the Panthers but the Bucs have a much better proven track record this time of year and they have performed when the pressure is on unlike our Panthers. We have a shot against the Seahawks here in BOA but that is a matchup that could quickly get out of hand because they are a well coached team and that goes back to the momentum shifts I mentioned. I just don't see this team beating the Bucs in their stadium to close the season. Tall order to say the least.

      The Case for(or Against) Drafting/Signing a TE

      I’d give it another year for Sanders and Evans, I don’t much care what you do with Tremble’s spot. Let him have another year or maybe replace him. Haven’t looked at his contract so that may be the determining factor.

      Following the crazy up down pattern we finish 9-8 with an improbable sweep of TB, and lay an egg in the home playoff game.  I don’t know if I can sign on to sweeping TB but I suppose it’s possible, they aren’t really that good this year.    ps I can buy beating TB Sunday and losing to Seattle.  Then it just gets to can you fluke one game. Any given Sunday. So we’ll see.
