Atwood said a family of four should spend about $1,200 a month — or $300 per person — on groceries. She has families of three or four members spending $2,000 and more each month.

I know grocery costs can vary a bit between the country, but this is just ridiculous. In my recent post, I stated that my family spends about $450 per month for two adults and two small children. I thought that this amount was still a bit too high and could do with a deeper look to try to save a bit more every month.

Yep thinking the EXACT same thing. I, too, have my wife and two small kids. Well 8 and 9. But we are right at $550 per month for groceries .

Where the heck is $1,200 going to ? Let alone those others who are spending over $2,000 ?? Maybe they are getting high priced Lobster and caviar at the Store lol Who knows ?? But just ridiculous to me.

Thanks for the post @getonthetrain
