wow I am impressed! i have a family of six i think i will track how much we are spending too! great idea and wtg!!!

YESSS !! I missed your brags ! I love to read them !! Glad to know that you are going to post them again :)

Great job.. Like you I tend to spend more to stock up, but then don't have to buy much for a month or so. It sure feels good knowing if anything happened, we would not go hungry for quite a while. Look forward to reading your weekly reports, they are a great inspiration.

thank you for your posts. It really helps to see what other people can do with their grocery budget. Way to go!

I was looking forward to your weekly brags!! thanks for sharing them :)

Haha! This is your fault :P

Awesome. I'm going to start tracking my weekly shops and see if I can get my average down. We only have family of 4 but my teen son eats enough to feed a small army.

Thanks so much for this post; it gave me the idea to start this with my family as well, I think it will be fun knowing the average of my monthly food bills.

does cheese freeze well i have never tried it but always wondered as we do not go through alot but it would be nice to buy it when it is on a good sale

woohoo! another great grocery brag...looking forward to reading of your updates 2010ontest! great job on the weekly/monthly average!

I shred my cheeses first and then freeze them. It's wonderful to have on hand - easy to add to any dish (scrambled eggs, chilis, pasta sauces, quiche et al...right from frozen). When I froze it in a brick, it was all crumbly and too moist once thawed and doesn't slice well at all. So my tip is shred and freeze!
