Yikes! Either it is more expensive here in Parker, Colorado or my husband is right and we spend a lot on groceries! Including our CSA (veggie, egg, fruit and fresh cut flower shares) and misc items like dog food (for 2 dogs) and laundry soap we spend about $800 and month, add another $300 for booze! We eat meat about once a month and have Friday night pizza night where we get our pizza from a local joint. We make our coffee to go and bring our lunches and snacks to work.
