A variety of factors have combined to elevate grocery prices. Data from the USDA shows that a family of four can expect to spend anywhere from $567 to $1,296 per month on groceries – or about $130 to $300 per week.

For the March Living Well Wednesday webinar series, K-State Research and Extension Family and Consumer Sciences Specialist for the Northwest Area, Ashley Svaty, and SNAP-Ed Regional Specialist for the Northwest Area, Janelle VanKooten, provided some simple, cost-effective strategies to help reduce food expenses.
