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.

hmm.. this country is messsed up because too many people don't want to be truthful . I'm not talking about the utang you get every month to support your family from famiy working abroad but what you actually spend. the average salary in the philippines is $177 per month..pero we have people spending 20,000 mth on food.. sure.. my sister makes 50,000 USD year and she spends a little more than that every month ($600USD=25K) and she has 2 kids and herself.. people have 3 maids.. cige ne.. come on and be truthful maarte.. an average salary for an engineer grad is 23000 K month.. and you spend that much in food??? where you work? I work for a BIG company in HR and I know how much I make.. I"m paying 20K a month for a down payment on a house, I'll be done with it in January, and the extra expense is kicking my butt. I make over twice as much as a grad engineer and I can barely do it.. and I spend roughly 8000 month for food, with my wife and 2 kids.. I come to this site to look for answers, but too many people are just straight up liars about how much they make and really just need to wake up.

Dapat magsalita totoo or just don't speak.. that's my American tagalog for you.

inggit ka kasi mas malaki kita ng mga tsikoters sa iyo? do you think tsikot people are ordinary pinoys earning $177/month? e di sana hindi na tsikot.com ang name ng forum, sana kariton.com na lang! mga tao dito nakakabili ng milyon halaga na sasakyan tapos di kaya ang grocery na 20k/month? we are not you and you are not us, so turn green in envy little boy!


to answer the ts, for a family of 2 adults, 3 school age kids, 1 baby and 2 maids our weekly grocery is around 6k plus another 4k at the wet market, or total 10k/week. yung binibili namin sa grocery (usually sa cherry or waltermart, cheaper than SM) ay purely kids baon, breakfast food, snacks, milk for the growing up kids and milk ni baby, diapers, toiletries, laundry soap and other household maintenance items (i.e., zonrox, raid insect killer). we seldom buy meat or fish at the grocery kasi ayaw namin yung na-frozen na. sa market we go to farmers, fresh na mura pa.

as for S&R, hehehe pahamak yang S&R na yan! last month we went there to just buy US strawberries, request kasi ng bunsong girl namin. talagang specify nya ayaw nya ng baguio dapat daw US. ayun pag-check out 12k binayaran ni misis, daming nadampot na di naman kelangan.

- are you interested how much money I have in my wallet?
- do you want to know my monthly expenses?
- and how about my monthly income?
