Obviously it is the food budget we need to look at. Restaurants is nothing fancy, it would be like earls. But basically are house is pretty much no red meat besides the odd steak i get myself. Many chicken and salmon, it doesnt seem like we buy expensive stuff trying to get a lot of bulk-ish superstore stuff. One thing we noticed that we are working on is buying too much produce at one time and having waste.

This one I have a tip for that works in my house. We cut up all of our vegetables when we get home from the store and put them in Tupperware in the fridge. It's so much more convenient to eat vegetables once they're already in snack form. Because of this, we go through them faster and never have waste. If say the cauliflower is on its last legs, just dump it into the pot to steam it for a side with supper. If it was still in the head you may not bother, but as it's already prepped it's so easy.
