How much do you spend each week on groceries?

I also run a daycare of average 4 kids per day and have three teenagers plus husband. To feed everyone healthy and nutritious is $300 per week. Seems like I also live in one of the most expensive places on earth to live. Silicon Valley, Ca.

For me and my boyfriend we spend about 100-120 a week (he eats a lot) but like every 3 weeks we will skip a weekend because we have enough food for that week. So about 300-360 a month.

I guess I'm on the high end - I spend around 300-500 per week on groceries (myself, husband, 4 kids, and 2 large dogs). I use coupons, mostly cook at home for breakfast and dinner, but we do a combo of packed lunches and eating out. The dogs weigh about 100lbs each, so they eat quite a bit also.

on food only i spend around 100£ a week for just two of us. any other household stuff and cat food adds more.
i try to save buying cheaper cuts of meat - pork leg or shoulder instead of loin, whole chicken or chicken thighs instead of breasts. all the braising cuts like beef brisket, pork belly, lamb neck. oxtail etc.

I really liked this thread because of the commitment to pets and their food. Kudos to the MFP community for taking care of our pets! I spend about $100.00 per week for two adults, a 16 year old son, and two cats. We eat out on the weekend twice a month usually. I take my lunch and snacks to school, the boy eats lunch at school, and my fiancee is on his own for lunch, I don't factor that into our food budget. $100 a week seems to be a a resounding average.

$100 - $200 just on myself. It cost a lot eating 5 - 6 meals a day and trying to purchase everything organic.

Geez, me too. I can spend $100 easily in one trip to Whole Foods.

You pay now.....or you pay later!

£600 a month, me & 2 teens, that's without eating out. They're both growing so quickly, though hope it evens out soon. Costing me a small fortune in food, clothes, shoes.. *sigh*

Morrisons (UK only?) is the cheapest supermarket, I think.

With a total of 6 people in the house we spend at least $150 to $200 a week. I may spend a little more. We don't keep exact track. My kids eat a lot protein and fresh fruit. So definitely not cheap.

$60-80 a day. I shop for what we need daily. Most of that goes on my damn chobani though

The month of August I spent a hundred bucks for the whole month, to feed our family of seven. But we ate off our garden and some food storage plus I baked and cooked non-stop.

Usually it's a lot more, but I can't really say for sure, since this month I spent a lot more at a case lot sale that'll enable me to spend less for the next four months.

About $100/week for myself - and I don't eat much. Nothing organic. Food just costs more here in South Korea.

We tend to spend betwee $100-$130 depending on what we purchase. We eat all meals at home and take packed lunches to work, with the exception of Friday/Saturday nights. It is just me and my partner and a little pup and we eat quite healthily so it sounds like your bill is about right.

Wow. I feel embarrassed to say maybe 200-250/week for me, hubby and 12 and 5 year old girls.

Don't be! My partners parents used to spend close to $400/$500 a week on groceries for their 4 growing boys, a small dog and themselves! Plus all the visitors going in and out each day! Young kids increase $$ on everything, I think they were very relieved when a few of them moved out, the grocery bill halved and so did the washing!
