I have been having a hard time deciding on a weekly budget. My biggest expense is groceries. We are a family of 6 and I am feeding 4 growing boys who love to eat!! And I am very picky about what food I feed them......no junk, mostly organic. Can others give examples of how much they spend weekly on groceries????

[debtisdum]

@themomofboys4 I can't speak for others but we budget $100 a week for our family of 4. I have heard families of 6-8 making it on the same or less. I fill my shopping cart with lots of fresh produce, lean meats, and dairy. We don't do junk either. I am also on e-mealz which provides dinners and leftovers for my hubby and I the next day. Our plan feeds 6 for $75 a week.

We made a monthly budget just yesterdaynight together and we decided on a weekly food budget just to see if we can do it. Hopefully we can master this and finetune this in the course of next year. Tnx for the inspiration !

@beerzzz You can SO do this! You will tweak it many times and that's ok! The point is that you are telling your money where to go. It's not controlling you! Awesome you guys!

P.S. How does Grace sleep like that!?!?!

[debtisdum]

@lauraemily83 HA HA! The girl will fall asleep ANYWHERE! Shopping carts, the couch watching TV with me, the hallway, the table, toilet leaning on a roll of tp! She has always loved the car. That is pretty much a guarantee! :)

We use a spreadsheet that we print off and post on the fridge. We also have envelopes for everything. We are a family of 8 (6 boys) and it is a game for me to be able to stay below my $125/week grocery budget. I hate seeing the money leave the envelopes so I try to save as much as I can.!

@wowlifeisgood A panic attack is always followed with a sense of accomplishment and pride that I am leading my family in a positive direction. I too have those! Great job with the coupons!

@danandbethany1 Thank you for your support! You are AWESOME!

[debtisdum]

@thelucasgang YEAH BABY! Reading that book showed me that I was doing it ALL wrong! Changed our spending habits immediately! When we were questioned why? It was because Dave Ramsey said so!

@Lambchop532001 Love that cooking idea! Not sure if you've heard me talk about e-mealz in the videos but they have a meal plan for 2. It's just as easy as going out but much less painless!

@carter5209 Can I just say that I love this comment! It is simplicity at it's best! Keep rockin the post-it's! Thank you for watching and for supporting us.

@lauraemily83 My girlfriend was just telling me about this website. It works awesomely for her but as for me, I need to physically see the dollars leaving those envelopes! Envelopes ROCK!!! But hey, whatever holds you accountable and mint is FREE!
