Grocery Bill

How much are yall spending on groceries weekly? Comment (family size, special diets, location etc) if you’d like. For comparison, we are a U.S. family of four spending $4.77 per meal per person per day ($57.21 per day total) on a vegetarian lifestyle so about $400 per week.

About $200-$250 a week but that doesn’t include formula 🥲. I’m gluten intolerant but I only eat 2 meals a day usually so I don’t have to get a ton of food for myself. Family of 4 in south Florida.

Family of 4. We spend around $250-300 a week. I have a ton of food allergies. I'm allergic to wheat, soy, quinoa, lentils, rice, spinach, lettuce, salmon, tuna, and all shellfish. So I mainly eat eggs, meat, cheese, and yogurt. Most vegetables are starting to make me sick too. So yeah red meat and chicken get expensive but here we are. I'm trying to make sure my kids have a well rounded diet but mine is definitely limited so we end up buying a lot of meat each week. We live in Arizona.

Probably around £80/$100, some weeks more and some less. That's the whole shop so may include household items (i.e today's shop was £80ish but included loo roll and shower gel).
UK, 2 adults (plus my Dad who'll I'll grab bits for too) and a 13mo. 13mo eats lunch and dinner at nursery 4 days a week and partner often buys himself bits for dinner at work 4 days a week that aren't included in our weekly shop. Baby and I are mostly dairy-free due to allergy, but slowly working our way through the milk ladder, and I'm pescatarian so buy alot of vegan products.

Somewhere around $200 a week. Family of 4. We shop at Aldi for most of our food. We buy most of our meat at a local grocery store. We buy meat when it’s on sale and freeze it. So, our bills fluctuate when we are stocking up.

love us some Aldi!! and Lidl but we don’t have one anymore. 😭

I’d say we prolly spend around $175-$250 a week for just my parter and I and baby boy is breastfed. We shop farmers market, Pavillions and sprouts in CA. It’s not cheap here :/

Usually about $150 a week for a family of 3 and that’s really because I try to eat as healthy as I can. So we don’t buy a lot of snacks. We do buy a lot of meat because protein is importance for every meal imo

Avatar

protein is super important! There are also lots of non meat sources of protein that could also put some dollars back in your pocket-if you wanted to alternate not necessarily eliminate.

ah, I miss the milk days! lol

whew! 😵 lol

Avatar

this is what our budget is supposed to be lol…but the fruit!

Avatar

that’s a struggle!

Avatar

ours fluctuates as well. I also try to buy vegan when I can.

Avatar

one of our markets is being remodeled 😩 but I did stop by the other today for some local honey. and Sprouts! Look out for those manager specials, we save quite a bit on produce that way. $1 for a big bag of organic broccoli today!

Avatar

yes! We do a lot of cottage cheese, nuts, eggs etc. but we try to cook a protein for dinner at least every night

150-200 a week. We don't buy much meat because we hunt, we get a lot of fruit and vegetables at the amish during summer and fall, Winter our food prices go up more. We live in rural PA and family of 5. We don't get many processed foods at all, I buy for meals, not ready-made stuff. We don't buy bread or eggs because I make my own and we have chickens. I do qualify for WIC currently also, so we don't usually buy milk or cheese.

Avatar

we are about to start making our own bread! Even though that’s not a bulk of our cost, it’s still exciting lol

Avatar

@ALI it's definitely a hobby of mine. Once I tried homemade, I couldn't stand the taste of the store bought anymore. 🤣 I make my own pancake mix and stuff, too. we usually buy flour and yeast in bulk at a local Amish store.

Day out after c section

Hey,
I had an emergency c section 1 week ago I obviously don't want a day out right now but I have things booked for the Easter holidays so in 2 weeks. I was just wondering if I will be overdoing it if I have a day out then or will I be ok? I would still take it as easy as I could. When did everyone feel good enough to go out?

Reduced Movements

Has anyone else gone in for monitoring for reduced movements and as soon as you arrive at triage the baby starts moving and the CTG is normal? It makes me feel like I am over reacting.

Baby Movements

Hello, I’m a FTM currently 18W5D pregnant. I’ve been getting this tugging feeling in my stomach after I eat, it’s uncomfortable but not painful. I don’t know whether that’s the baby moving or round ligaments pain.

I’ve also been getting round ligament pain which is either a sharp stabbing pain or a stretching sensation. These happens whether or not I’ve eaten while the tugging feeling is only after I’ve eaten.

So, could the tugging feeling be the baby or something else.

Labour

Think im a bit confused really, i went into traige as was having contractions eveey 3-5mins. Since being here im now having them every 2-3mins which was confirmed with the machine and i think the toco was 90-100 and they feel painful and my lower back is in loads of pain but apparently im only just over 2cm dilated maybe, she has said i can stay here for a bit longer to see if things progress as had a previous quick birth as well but i dont understand why the pains are coming this quick if im only 2cm dilated and feel a bit deflated from it also.

I had a sweep this morning also.
