How much do you spend on groceries?

Realistically, I probably spend about $150-175 a week on my fiancee & I. However, this number is probably skewed because we live right in the city/eat a lot of organic/hormone free fruits/veggies - it also includes all our TP, toiletries, etc.. Going out we are equally awful, probably $250 a week between us (2 nice meals on weekends).

I do use coupons & shop at big box stores much of the time, but it still adds up. Though I feel OK with spending a lot on healthy groceries as I know the importance of the good food I'm putting in my belly & how much it will save me in healthcare costs over time!

family of 4... 3 adults (husband, myself and foster adult) and 1 child (age 4)...we spend about $80 a week. We shop at the co-op in bulk grains, sale or seasonal produce, organic dairy (limited) and meat when on sale. If it's summer or farmers market season I can take this down to $50 a week.

Dang I need to take lessons from some of you Our family of 4 spends around 200-230 a week on groceries including pet food and cleaning/health products. We don't eat out often maybe 1-2 month.

For my bf and I, we budget about $300-400 per month for groceries.

Between $200-$250 per week...that usually also includes our beer, wine, and spirits. Other incidentals like diapers, tooth paste, dog food, etc can push those numbers up, but they are usually once per month incidentals. The biggest issue we have is that we shop at Costco for about 80% of our goods...we can go in their with a list of essentials for the next week or two and they may total around $200...but we end up buying all kinds of misc crap...sometimes I feel like we can't get out of there under $400...well, I can if my wife isn't with me; if she's with me, watch out...gonna be a big bill. Actually, I think I've curbed her Costco enthusiasm somewhat when I just went over our latest Costco Amex bill. Just because it's there doesn't mean we need it.

Just myself, about $40/week. Half of which is fresh produce (in Edmonton, AB). I do however go out socially quiet a bit, so on average probably spend an additional $20-$40 eating out.

For my boyfriend and I about $250 a month. We eat out once a month if that. I do buy a lot of Subway though. (It's in the Walmart I work at.)

Edit: I'm in central NY

Too freakin' much! :grumble:

I'll admit that half of our cart is usually fresh fruit and veggies. And we also tend to stock up whenever there's a good deal. But we're around $200/week on groceries for a family of 4 (that includes toiletries and paper goods).

This^^ I swear I don't know how it adds up sometimes. Family of 4, but that does feed us all breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks. Oh, and Leeroy the boston terrier too!

I live in Ontario and we spend about $150-$200 a week for a family of 2 adults and 2 small children (4 and 2). I go shopping every 2 weeks, I plan out our meals (all of them and snacks). This includes everything from shampoo, cleaning supplies, dog/cat food, tylenol, etc. We buy our meat from a local butcher and we do buy mostly organic, so I could probably lower that if I were willing to let that go.

we also eat out about once or twice a month, usually subway or pizza.

50-75 a week. Somtimes 100, but not very often. That is for me and my son.

It's just me, and I keep a separate budget for pet supplies/food, as well as personal items (tp, shampoo, etc). I budget $120 a month on groceries for myself, and I only allow myself to eat out about 2 meals a month (typically special occasions, girls night out, etc). I live close to my office, so I go home for lunch every day, but if I depend on Subway for lunch or dinner on a busy day, that comes out of my grocery budget. There are months when I don't spend it all, but the extra gets left in the budget and typically gets spent the next month or so to replenish the freezer (meat) or more expensive items. I'm in Ohio, and the overwhelming majority of my shopping is done at Kroger or Aldis.

We spend about $100 every two weeks, give or take $20... this is for two people and includes most additional stuff, like cleaning supplies and health products. We probably spend a little over $200 a month on groceries.

But, this doesn't include dog food, eating out, or vitamins/supplements. Can't wait until it's farmer's market season again

Family of 6 here and we spend about $150 a week (with coupons) this includes paper products, cleaners...etc

We have a family of 6...with 2 teenage boys. We budget $300 every 2 weeks. That includes household items. We probably spend an extra $20 or so if we need to restock fruit, milk and bread through the week. We don't buy much in the way of snacks. We eat out once a week usually...and the cost of that depends on where we are going... Sit down meals are expensive...pushing $80 including tips...But we can keep it closer to $25 if we have pizza or some other carry out. Saturday is our "free day" and that is usually when we eat out.

About $600 per month including non-food stuff like soap, cleaners, TP. This is for a family of 4, hubs, me, and two upper teen step kids so they eat like adults. Right now hubs is working in another state so I expect it will go down a lot. I work and go to school full time so don't have time to cook for the kids so we buy them easy to prepare stuff because they don't want to cook and hate my food anyway. So my portion of the bill is lean protein, veggies, fruit and a little whole grains. Their portion is frozen chicken patties, frozen burgers, instant potatoes, burger, hamburger helper etc.

We live near Portland, OR. Last gallon of milk I bought was 2.50. eggs were 2.50 for 18. Produce has been about $1 per lb depending exactly what it is. I have several special dietary needs which I think makes our bill a little higher. When I have time to cook, grow a garden, have chickens and rabbits etc the bill can be quite a bit lower.
