We just added up and we spent $500 last month to feed 5, so we could feed 20 on their budget -probably more as we could buy in bigger bulk.

How do you all spend so much? it's not like we live on Ramen Noodles and candy. We do cook everything from scratch, though, and we only buy a few "organic" products. Our bill would be much reduced if we grew more of our own veg too.
