According to the USDA the average family of four is spending somewhere between $544 to $1235 per month for food eaten at home. Thatâs a huge range! They break it down into 4 plans: Thrifty, low-cost, moderate, and liberal. found a few thriftyâs, a lot of low-cost or moderates, and no one who admits to spending the liberal plan :-). So for the sake of argument Iâll assume that the moderate plan is pretty average. The moderate plan for a family of four with small children is $855 per month. That is $7 a day for each person.
