Our $160 Monthly Food Bill
To get that brain matter flowing and get you thinking about your answer throughout the article, we’re going to start this off by asking you a question. How much do you spend a week on food, namely groceries? The big three monthly expenses everyone has are: housing; transportation; and food. Well, we’ve covered housing with: The House Hack that Allows us to Live for Free, and transportation with: How to Get Rich by Driving Crappy Cars, so we figured it was about time we dove a little deeper into the food budget a little more.

Cut Your Grocery Bill by 60%
Most recent post on our groceries: Our $160 Monthly Food Bill Let me ask you a question: have you ever dreaded going to the grocery store, knowing you were about to fork over a wing and a thigh (get it? Food humor, lol) to pay for all this stuff? I’m sure you’ve heard everyone say that it’s so much cheaper to cook your meals at home, instead of eating out?
