And you thought shopping for your family was hard. Try buying groceries for 19 kids — plus grandkids! We’re imagining an army of Duggars running around the grocery store — kind of like that old game show Supermarket Sweep (anyone remember that?!).
Well, Michelle Duggar of the TLC show 19 Kids and Counting told Today that they spend about $3,000 on groceries a month to feed their hungry brood. Michelle said that they do one big grocery shopping trip a month, plus smaller weekly visits.
According to Today, a typical Duggar shopping list for just one day includes:
3 dozen eggs
5 lbs. of turkey bacon
20 biscuits
10 oranges
4 lbs. of grapes
3 loaves of whole wheat bread
4 lbs. of sloppy joe meat
3 lbs. of green beans
3 lbs. of potatoes
2 watermelons
2 family-size bags of lettuce
4 lbs. of spaghetti noodles
3 loaves of French bread
2 pans of brownies
1 gallon of vanilla ice cream
That’s a ton of food! How does your grocery shopping budget compare to the Duggars?

[...] in point: The Duggars (I’m truly sorry if you’ve had enough of them) spend a staggering amount of money per month in groceries. Seriously, you won’t believe [...]
I think the Duggars are awesome. I do agree that they need to stop trying to have children, it was hard on them when their daughter was born premature and even harder when they lost their last baby (and the media has certainly overdone the coverage on them) but it’s their religion to accept every child God gives them and they love each and every one equally. They are the most well behaved kids I’ve ever seen on a news program (note to “octomom”…) and they live COMPLETELY debt free. I’d love to meet another family who can say the same. I don’t have $3000 to spend on all of my bills, let alone just groceries!
