(Trying to figure out how much two new additions are gonna up the food bills)
That's about what I spend on people food for 2 humans per month

I know this feeling very well....LOL!!!

We just spent $120 on the dry mix that will alst about 4-5 weeks. As for the grocery store, it depends, average is about 100-150 a month, but we do cheat some, the farmers market lets us come there early Monday am and the vendors give us what they can't sell. Works great!!!

So maybe my figures aren't that above average after all. Glad to know I'm not alone!

$25-$50 a month for 2 depending on what I buy, what's on sale, and what's in season.
