Our weekly grocery(including meat and fish) is about P6.5K a week,- so about P26K a month, - so I budget P30K a month.... Grabe talaga ang gastos... We are 5 in the family with 3 household helps.... Kasama na rito ang baon na merienda/lunch ng mga bata sa eskwela.... Tapos, weekdays, wife and myself don't eat lunch sa bahay....

We have a couple of CitiCard CashBacks(2 principal cards),- so we are getting 5% rebate for grocery items.

grabe noh? I think we might try again to do shop every week na lang.

kaya sa mga nagaaral pa, stay being a students as long as you live.

huwag na kayo tumanda.

I buy meats ang gulay from the palengke once a month where we spend around 4K for this. Another 2K weekly at the grocery for a total of 12K monthly at the average.

Household with three adults, two kids and two maids.

Mahal na talaga nowadays; spend P500 to 1K in the grocery and you're just carrying one or two grocer bags which arent even too full.

* Shadow, di mo pa nasama sa monthly grocery bills niyo yung food ni doggie?

OT: Nuong may libreng P100 na pangsine for every P1500 purchase sa CitiCard,- ginagawa namin,- iisplitin namin sa 4 ang grocery every week. 2 for wifey's card and 2 for my card. Kahit dito makabawi man lang... Anyway, hindi ka rin totally makakabawi, dahil kapag nagsine kayo ng mga bata,- kakain ang mga ito... At, ang lalakas kumain,- parang picnic sa loob ng sine...

Ngayon,- wala nang ganitong promo.....

At least may 5% rebate kami sa grocery purchases. So, between my wife and myself, siguro we average about P1,700 in rebate every month for groceries and utilities and other purchases.... Kahit papaano,- may natitipid.... Hindi namin ito mapupulot sa kalye....
