I have a household of three. My grocery bill has increased astronomically. I do buy healthier options however my son and husband love junk food, I am a vegetarian (for 29 years) and anything I eat has the highest marked prices. So I have to go through other channels outside of the main markets. For the smallest of fresh items my bill is about $70 and grand total weekly is about $200 at the grocery store. Now that summer is approaching I will go to farmers markets for those items. I also went in half with another family for a cow. I have my freezer stocked with meat that will last more than a year. I also found a neighbor that raises chickens and purchase my eggs from him. Another item I use that is expensive in the grocery store is honey. It costs too much and isn't guarantied quality, so I found another neighbor who sells honey to me. Search around locally for food sources. I also trade in my jars and egg cartons to the neighbors for a better deal. Thanks for this topic.
