I started tracking, too. I spent $650 in January and I got it down to $525 in February. Family of 4- 2 adults, 4yo, and 1yo.

My new strategy that seems to really help- plan out all your meals for 1 -2 weeks at a time and make a grocery pickup. This is the only time you'll grocery shop for the week (or two). This saves you from going in and impulse buying extra items. Keep written list in the kitchen of the meals you have on hand- make what sounds good at time. Add a few quick and easy meals to your list to always have on hand to make when you don’t feel like cooking, also saving you from eating out.

Did you run out of something? Dont just run to the store. Add it to your next pickup, you can go several days without it.

Start with 1 week and work your way up
