I finally tracked my weekly grocery bill for a month and hit $75

I set a goal to spend less than $80 a week for my family of three, and last week I got it down to $75. This was a big deal because we usually spend over $100. I did it by planning meals around dried beans, cheaper cuts of chicken, and in-season veggies. Do you think aiming for a strict weekly number is better, or is a monthly average more realistic for staying on budget?

Wait, you feed three people on seventy-five bucks a week? That's wild. A monthly average is way smarter so you can buy the big cheap stuff when you see it.

My old boss at the moving company swore by a monthly average. He said it lets you stock up on a great sale one week without blowing the whole plan.
