I'm on mat leave and get about 700 a month, my husband gets about 2 grand a month plus a free 2bdrm apartment for his job

That's 2700 a month, I spend about 1400 on groceries and ordering in once a week. If I never order out, that's still about a grand a month on groceries (I'm including not food items in this line litter and bathroom stuff) . Then the rest goes to bills, clothes, baby stuff, debt payments, monthly subscriptions like Netflix. Then it's gone.

If I didn't get CTC every month I'd be so screwed. How do you save on groceries?

Edit: lots of people insinuating I'm not rich enough for kids, money might be tight but it's partially because i put into savings for them, I also get 888 every month from ctc for them which goes to them so maybe chill. No one goes without and we have resps, rsp, rrsp with work, and looking into GIC when I go back to work, I was trying to find a way to save on groceries, not some bullshit about how you hate kids.

Maybe you just didn't read the part about me being on mat leave? I only get 33% of my regular pay right now

Edit 2: half of you say it's normal and half of you say it outrageous. Either way, I learned that I'm wasting too much and not couponing/bulk shopping enough. Thanks for suggestions
