monthly grocery budget?

[shadow]

how much is your household monthly grocery budget?



do you buy it the usual way once a month or weekly?

mas makakmura ba pag weekly na lang mag grocery? grabe sa mahal eh pag once a month, I was checking the CC bills last night. P15k-P20k/month kami, to think we don't eat lunch sa bahay.

Mas ramdam mo actually if you go monthly. We tried it before nasa 9k lang monthly namin, and that includes everything na ... chicken, beef etc. etc.

But now, we do it when we need it nalang. Kapag bibili ng meat or seafood and gulay, sa palengke nalang. Mas mura pa.

We only go to the grocery to buy the not-so-important things. Kagaya ng mga cookies, palaman etc. etc. Dun rin pala bumibili ng mga mantika and stuff.

Grabe ... bakit 20k sayo ?

ewan ko, sarap pag nag grocery eh, lahat kinukuha eh kahit hinde kailangan

yun hinde pa ganun kataas yun price 2-3 years 10K na eh, ngayon nagtaas ng price kay aumaabot na ng ganyan

we tried yun twice a month mag grocery, eh mas mahal lumalabas literally na double din ang budget.

we also tried gumawa ng menu kung ano mga lulutuin, for the whole week ganun din eh.

hinde na kasama sa gastos namin rice dahil nagpapakuha ako sa probinsiya monthly. so free na yun.

ang isang malakas napansin ko eh yun mga cleaning materials. floor cleaner, cleansers, tile cleaner, zonrox etc... parang every two weeks mga ito and this morning nakita ko nanaman meron list na ginawa yun mg katulong na dapat bilhin this weekend.

20K a month din sa amin 2 lang kami ng sis ko sa house..weekly ako nasa grocery kasi medyo maliit yung ref/freezer namin and para mas fresh rin yung meat and veggies na nabibili ko..not fond of canned goods usually spam,vienna sausage and corned beef lang binibili ko.

TS ilan ba kayo sa bahay?

I do my grocery weekly and spend 1.7k-2.2k. My spending on rice is negligible since I buy it semi annually (25 kg). Napansin ko lang it is expensive to eat healthy.

Yung budget for dogs - rice, dog food, bread, veggies, biscuits and treats. I don't get to compute it anymore.

S&R nga kami mag grocery...parang mas malinis ang meats nila doon eh wait mahal ba sa S&R? compare sa ibang grocery like SM? parang pareho lang eh.

[Patti]

malaking chunk nung budget namin nasa food talaga..mahilig kasi ako magluto eh..gusto ko laging kumpleto ingredients ko and mahilig kami magpapak ng mga cold cuts and cheeses

[boybi]

Di kami regular mag grocery. As needed lang, pero usually maramihan na rin. Less than 10K siguro per month, 4 adults 2 kids 4 maids.

Pero yung meats/veggies/seafoods, weekly sa palengke. Almost 5K per week. Gusto kasi ng tatay ko laging fresh ang pagkain.

[JJGF]

mura naman sa s&r sir shadow

sa diaper at spam mura

yun nga lang madami ka makikita na kakaiba na wala sa ibang supermarket kaya dampot na lang ng dampot

Meat okay nga sa S&R but I will never buy fruits and vegetables there again. Highway robbery e

Try mo sa SM. Ako when we do our groceries monthly, I do it sa SM Hypermart. Dun sa may Tiendesitas. Why ? Konti tao. Malaki. And hindi pila yung cashier compared sa mga groceries sa mall.

Pero since we don't do monthly groceries na ( -, usually kasi ginagawa namin yun during peak seasons esp. Holidays kasi maraming tao sa palengke. ) ... pumupunta nalang ako sa Savemore to buy not-so-important things.

Oh by the way, the meat we buy sa SM eh hindi kasya for a month. Kaya we do several rounds of trip pa to the market in case na maubusan. Mga tig 2kl lang usually.
