How much do you spend on groceries?

I don't separate out incidentals, such as food for my 120 pound lab or other 4 animals...I stocked up for 2 weeks yesterday, spent close to $600. Will spend about $100 next week on fillers like bread, milk, fresh produce.

I am in upstate NY. Family of 5, 2 adults, one teen boy, two girls. It also doesn't count the $50-75 a month that goes on the school lunch account for my three darlings, or money on account at gymnastics, or sports...

My husband and me + 3 teenagers, we spend $600/month and eat out about five times a month. That amount includes cleaning and household supplies. I get most produce and meat at Sam's club. I also don't buy a lot of snacks for the kids. If I don go over I only allow $50 extra just in case.

I typically go groceries once a week for my boyfriend and I. I usually spend 80-100 week. I am in Ontario.

I spend between $400-$500 a month for my boyfriend and I. He generally only eats one meal a day at home except on weekends, I eat all meals at home. He eats a ton of lean protein (fish and chicken) and I mostly stick to fish., but we both eat piles of fresh vegetables and very little bread and pasta. We also eat some pretty expensive stuff because he won't eat meat that's been processed, I insist on fair-trade quinoa and pricey artisan cereal, and we both like organic locally farmed products whenever possible. We're horrible pain-in-the-butt hipster eaters and no fun at dinner parties.

300 plus at week. Family of 6. 4- kids - 3 teenagers and one almost teenager. 3 EW boys. Two celiac - one of whom is a vegetarian. (Now that's fun trying to eat out with.) Gluten free bread, frozen pizza, sweets, and oatmeal are EXPENSIVE.

1 teen son goes to a tech H.S. with a culinary program so lunches are .made fresh eat day at the school. He get 3 dollars for his lunch. Everyone else brown bags.

Two of the boys are athletes and one of them is doing two sports. The double sport guy eats an extra meal when he has played a game or gone to a track meet.

Out of the 130 meals a week served to the 6 of us, about 120 of them are at home. We are in New England and one of the teens works at the local grocery store where all the men have to wear ties.

My boyfriend and I probably spend 200-250 a month for the two of us.

Granted, we are poor college kids, so this is more out of necessity than any secret knowledge or skill lol.

He eats some kind of meat that he cooks with almost every meal, but we only buy whatever meat Albertson's currently has "buy 1 get 3 free" so we save alot by not getting to choose what kind of meat we bring home. They change it up a lot though. This past week it was chicken breasts in packs of two so we bought 2 packs(4) and got 12 more breasts free. That lasts a while and is under 20 bucks.

For other things, we only buy things if they're on sale/whatever brand is on sale. There is always a brand of greek yogurt on sale, for example, I just don't get to pick which brand. Our methods seem to work well; we hit up albertsons and winn dixie for more chances of things being on sale.


EDIT we're in louisiana, and if you do buy 1 get 3 free you have to freeze most of it; things in that deal are usually close to expiration date. He takes out what he needs for the next day each night so it can defrost =] just a tip

Far too much. Things like free range chicken breasts, wild alaskan salmon, fage greek yoghurt, tuna steaks, avocado and duck eggs really add up here in the uk. I ended up spending about £50 today for my staples for the coming week(though the chicken breasts, duck eggs and the veggie burgers and tofu will last longer than that)

From the 31st to today I've spent $149 on groceries.. and that includes a $15 box of wine we're not done and grocery shopping today that will last until after the 14th. That's probably a normal 2 week period. So about $75 a week for a family of 4, myself and hubby (eating healthy), and our 2 sons ages 5 and 3. The kids are still small.. but they are pretty good eaters. I'm sure nothing compared to teenagers.. but they probably together eat the average between me and my husband. We don't eat out hardly ever, don't drink much.. $30 a month (1 box of wine, 1 box of beer). We haven't bought store bread in 3 weeks, I've made all our bread at home. We have chickens (the grocery bill reflects that in old produce we buy from the store for them) that give us eggs, and we have a garden every year.. nothing yet this year but I freeze and dehydrate a lot for eating throughout the year. I also raise meat rabbits.. they probably represent another 100#'s in dressed meat which cost us about $200 last year in feed. This year should be cheaper because I now have a kennel for pasturing the young before butcher.. which should help a lot. -- Wyoming, USA
