Do you know how much beef, chicken, and pork your family actually eats?
Before you spend hundreds of dollars stocking your freezer, it helps to know how much food your household really needs.
You might be surprised by how much meat your family goes through in a month—or how much of your food budget goes toward eating out.
That's why I created the Comprehensive Consumption Worksheet.
This free, downloadable PDF helps you estimate your family's meat consumption, understand your spending habits, and make more informed decisions about what to buy.
What You'll Get
Beef Consumption Calculator - Estimate how much steak, ground beef, roasts, and fajita meat your family eats each week.
Chicken and Pork Consumption Estimates - Use household portion-size prompts to estimate your weekly chicken and pork consumption.
Restaurant Spending Tracker - Calculate how often your family eats out and how much those meals cost.
Monthly and Yearly Consumption Summary - Turn your weekly estimates into monthly and annual totals so you can better understand your household's needs.
Why This Matters
When you know how much meat your family actually consumes, you can:
- Plan grocery purchases around what your family will realistically use.
- Compare smaller purchases with bulk meat options.
- Better understand how much freezer space you might need.
- Identify opportunities to reduce unnecessary food spending.
- Make it easier to plan meals and avoid buying more than you need.
You don't need to purchase half a cow or fill another freezer to start buying beef from local ranchers.
You just need a plan that works for your family.
