this article.
One simple approach to meal planning is setting a price goal for each meal. For example: Breakfast = $0.50 per person, Dinner = $3 - $4 total.
I think she\'s giving examples of how one could set budgets per person or per meal.
One thing I\'ve been doing is keeping track of all food spending and then calculating what we\'re spending per day on average. I track both groceries and dining out, total it up and divide by the number of days. Seeing the total is interesting, but seeing the daily average is also interesting, to me anyway.
Right now my family of three averages somewhere between $13 and $14 per day, and I\'d like to see that come down to about $12/day.
Welcome to DivaTribe, by the way.
