Isn't there a saying, "Two can live as cheaply as one"? So, 18 can live as cheaply as 9, and so on.

When there's 4 of us at home, we'll easily spend over $250/week.

I dunno - they must be getting some assistance somewhere. If $500 is there biggest expenditure and they can feed 18 on it, then I am doing something seriously wrong.

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. /hijack

Edit to add: we typically spend about $500 a month for 3.5 people, plus another 2 on the weekends. |

so, we just worked out we spend the same per month on sports and leisure fees (i.e. not including any equipment or equipment maintenance). Guess we know where our priorities lie!

They spend $500 per week, not $500 per month.
