Groceries plus eating out for this family of 3 (plus feeding plenty of Sunday dinner guests) came to $210.13 per week. I know we could cut quite a bit from that, but we haven't.Philhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01339766742507453695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1999351415327534579.post-77093322484052193022008-03-05T17:13:00.000+01:002008-03-05T17:13:00.000+01:00Hi Jason, Greetings from Germany!

Our food budget for the the two of us for a month is 280.00 and we have quite a few guests. I make most things from scratch, but I do buy my meat, poultry and eggs at the market and my bread at the bakery. (Better quality, higher price.) We don't buy as much beer and wine as they had in the photo and we don't eat out much, say about 10-15 Euros a month for that, max. Last fall when the dairy, meat and baked goods prices were rising rapidly, the newspapers were full of diagrams that showed how LOW the food prices are here in Germany compared to other European countries. Scandinavia is much more expensive. So, either that German family is eating out a lot, or something is not accurate in the story. I meant to ask the other women yesterday at Bible Study what they spend, but I forgot. Sorry.<BR/><BR/>Wishing you a Guten Apetit from Peine,<BR/> Katy SmelserAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1999351415327534579.post-26083929177629537062008-03-04T22:46:00.000+01:002008-03-04T22:46:00.000+01:00I think we are at about 300€ a month on groceries ...I think we are at about 300€ a month on groceries (diapers and wipes included) and then another 100€ on eating out.alamederohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16480661293622509335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1999351415327534579.post-83751303639289372172008-03-04T18:04:00.000+01:002008-03-04T18:04:00.000+01:00That was a great email - I didn't realize it was a...That was a great email - I didn't realize it was a book.
