Here’s the 7-step system I used to cut my grocery bill in half

Before I became mindful of my grocery budget, I used to spend between $800 and $1,000 per month for groceries to feed my family of four.

In recent years, I discovered that I could save over 50% of my grocery cost just by implementing a few simple tweaks to my shopping routine, and it made a world of a difference in my bottom line.

As I became more financially savvy and learned how to be more frugal, I continued to tweak my budget until I landed on a comfortable $100 per person per month budget, meaning I spend no more than $400 per month for groceries for my family of four.

I personally believe this budget is plentiful. It’s worked well for us, even as we live in a house in Los Angeles, California, which is notorious for its high cost of living.
