Food budget per day?

[xyymom]

How much do you budget for food per day?

I'm trying to save some money on food costs. Does anyone have any great tips for me? We are 2 adults and 3 kids (8,6,4).

This is how my food budget looks for 2 adults 2 kids (7,9). Breakfast $15 (you could save here if you brought stuff from home to have) Lunch $25 and Dinner $40.

I would think that two of your kids could share and then you and your husband could share your meals with the other one.

Three trips and we have always budgeted $100.00 per day.
1st trip 2A,2K(7,10)
2nd trip 2A,4K(18,17,15,9mos)
3rd trip 2A,3K(17,17,3)
The 2nd trip we managed as we stayed at the Grosvenor and had a HUGE breakfast buffet included in our package every am!! This has always meant we bring in most drinks and some snacks to the park everyday. Counter service always for lunch. Dinner is depending on our mood, sometimes a sit down meal, sometimes more "snacky". We have never exceeded our food budget, (#of days x $100.00=) maybe spent a little more/less some days AND we have never felt like we didn't have enough.
