I spend roughly $100 on groceries.
Costs are dependent on our weekly menu and the season.

Nothing really spent on supplies. I have enough supplies to outfit a couple Kindergarten classrooms...

Regular disposable supplies such as toilet paper, garbage bags and paper towels are bought in bulk so I usually buy those things every 6-8 weeks or so.

Parents supply wet wipes and diapers

Thanks so much!!!
No, nope meal planner app.
I stick to the basics and tweak my menus according to my current group. I don't think I spend all that much on groceries and I am pretty savvy with buying what is on sale or what is in season so cutting costs in that area has never been something I've looked too deeply into.
