On average, how much do you….

I would say $450 for my family of four that includes a 16 and 12 year old boys
350. I am feeding six. We don’t cook every meal. The expense is more than that. But that is a weekly outlay for groceries. That includes feeding dogs as well.
I’m guessing I spend about two fiddy a week for my wife and me and the dog.
I’d say between our monthly Sam’s run, weekly grocery store and what seems like daily dollar general stops we probably average at $600 weekly for family of five.
Dang….”Mr. Brady Bunch here”:
Hope you have already started an IRA college education fund……2 kids bout killed me dead (expenses).
Dang…..maybe you are the REAL “Mr. Brady Bunch:
Impressive for 6 though….but I guess you are eating out some too.
Dog food can be expensive…
$100-$200 weekly. 2 people. This doesn’t include meat/chicken and etc. that’s separate as I buy from Independent butcher shops.
$150: a week easily and I eat out for lunch every day.. I’m single and live alone although my gf eats w me frequently. Food costs are killing me.
Yes. Definitely eating out some or it would be more. I did a budget from 2020 to now. 15-20 thousand more a year now than then. Minimum for me.
No. Sorry. I should clarify. That is total. Everything for six people. Four of them girls. Food. Gas. Nails. Hair. Clothes. Insurance. Phones. Normal expenses. It was 1200 more a month in 22. Now closer to 1500 a month more. Myself, my son, my wife and three daughters.
I am hanging in. But things are definitely tighter than they have been in a while. Even with the ridiculous tax code Obama had.
I got it. I was going to invite myself over to your place for dinner! Insurance has absolutely smashed us since 2020.
That’s what I do also. That’s about what we spend.

According to the lying pos our inflation is low, but community notes body bagged him.
I was just commenting on this today. It isn’t a huge expenditure, but more par for the course. I don’t spend a lot of haircuts. Damn near impossible to screw my haircut up. Same with my son. 12 dollars plus tip in 2020. It is now 18 dollars plus tip. That is 50 percent more. Again, it isn’t killing my wallet by any means, but everything is like it. Just try getting any work done to your home.
Wood...
is still pretty expensive.
Brick “ahem” houses are still really expensive as well.
My barber from 12 to 15 to 20 dollars in one year. Needless to say can’t afford to tip.
we do a lot of shopping at local markets and produce stands.
Don’t think I bought anything from a Walmart grocery in a few years. Mainly the only grocery store I go into is Ingles/Publix.
Strange little note. My great uncle sold his grocery store to two gentlemen and that turned into food depot.
$20 bucks 😮 I have heard some charge $20 around my area. My haircut is $25 but that’s with a beard trim as well. Granted when I get it done they usually don’t see me again till 3-4 months down the road. So I make sure I tip because I’m looking like someone from the duck dynasty show by the time I return again 😆
That's how I feel about it... if you have to raise your prices to cover the bottom line, so be it, but I can no longer keep tipping as much just the same.
