My brother-in-law just told me his family's grocery bill hit $1200 last month, which made me finally check our own spending.

Seeing that number made me pull our bank statements, and we were spending almost as much without even noticing, so has anyone else had a wake-up call like that and what did you cut first?

We cut out all the pre-made snacks and frozen meals first, that alone saved us like $200.

That "without even noticing" part is the real killer, it's so easy for convenience to quietly become the main budget line.
