What should 2 people spend a week on groceries?

My husband and I spend about $500/mo on groceries, but that includes toiletries, cat food, and beer. I don't know how much we ACTUALLY spend on food. We do also eat a lot of meat (steak, bacon, pork tenderloin, burgers), and splurge on fancy cheeses occasionally. I'd probably spend less if it was two of me, lol, because my husband goes on kicks for like 3 days - has to have juice for breakfast, or needs his Izze, or pickles, or bagels - and then is so done with that food, and is convinced it is bad by the next time he wants to eat it. /sigh.

My husband and I spend normally $80-90 on groceries every week, including paper products, but not including wine or beer. I do shop around to see which stores in my area have the best sales each week. We're in NE Ohio so my main stores are Marc's, Giant Eagle, and Heinen's. Every week I sit with the sales papers for these stores and plan our menu for the week around whatever is on sale. I rarely buy things that aren't on sale for the week, unless it is a staple that we have run out of. I plan and buy to make 7 breakfasts, lunches, and dinners. I also make snacks for us throughout the week: hummus, bean dips, protein bars,etc. I also take advantage of the farmer's markets that have opened for the season.
I buy some stuff at Bj's every few weeks when I get gas for the car, mostly nuts and bags of greens for juicing. That being said I take advantage of ethnic stores for a lot of things like spices and grains. I also buy lots of frozen veggies for quick sides and frozen fruit for smoothies. I don't buy many processed things either so that tends to help us eat cleaner.
My biggest advice would be to work with whatever is on sale for the week and menu plan so you are making the most use of the things you buy

My partner and I have also been trying to tighten up our budget on groceries. We have been spending $75-$100 per week for both of our groceries. This includes some household items (probably 50%) like toilet paper, cleaners, and the cats stuff. I buy only produce that is in season and have been watching the amount we spend on meat. We also have reduced the number of prepared items and snacks we buy.

we spend about $150 a week, but i'm allergic to wheat and we eat a lot of organic or no chemicals added foods. lots of shopping at trader joe's and whole foods, some at ralph's and target.

It seems that we just can't get lower than around $75 a week and then $20-30 a month for once a month buys.

We do buy a lot of fresh produce and lean meats and try to eat as healthy and clean as we can.

That being said, I am looking for input from couples who eat mostly clean.

Eliminating alcohol and non-food items, we (my husband and I) probably spent about $75 - $85 a week on food before our garden started producing.

We don't eat out often and cook most meals from scratch using fish or lean meats, whole grains, legumes and vegetables. I buy some organic and some not. It really just depends on price and freshness. We eat more fresh than frozen vegetables, but we do use frozen. And I often use canned beans, even though dry are much cheaper.

Where I live it is definitely possible to eat healthy on much less than my husband and I spend. We are older and have years of experinece at our jobs and with the kids gone, we don't really budget our food shopping. But not buying many processed foods does cost quite a bit less and allows for more expensive ingredients for home cooked meals.

I have 4 adults in my house -- myself, hubby, and 2 young adult sons. Most weeks, I spend around $160, with an occasional week where I spend $200. We eat a lot of meat and fresh produce. My mom, who lives alone, spend around $50 a week; she eats fish every week, as well as quite a few fresh foods. So, between $80 and $100 seems reasonable for a couple. One caveat -- with a family, the per person cost goes down because buying in bulk the unit cost is lower. If you overbuy as a couple or a single, you end up throwing stuff out. I almost never throw stuff out with the 3 guys in the house.

$50 a week, easily. I feel that we eat well. We don't specifically strive for "clean" or organic, but we don't buy much junk. We shop mostly at Aldi and the small ethnic/natural foods store, and we do buy frozen seafood but no beef/chicken/pork since my husband is pescetarian.

We go out to eat at least once per week, often twice but if so the second time is usually something like lunch at our favorite Mexican place which is around $4-6 per person.

One disclaimer though: I don't include any items like toilet paper, laundry detergent, HBA items, in that total. For us those things are less frequent, never purchased in the same places we buy grocery items, and we tend to stock up so maybe spend like $100-125 every 2 or 3 months and then don't shop for them again for quite awhile.

I would say we spend about $100/week... but that includes wine. We don't eat a lot of carbs... almost no processed foods... all lean meats, fresh produce... we eat seafood at least once each week which is of course very expensive and we only eat out about once/month.

Aprox $200 a week.... Live in the Midwest/US

Cost of things are different in different areas - I'm in a pretty "average" area in the States.

This does not include "date nights" or holiday - eating out cost.

me and my boyfriend who lives together probably spend about $70 on groceries per week. With that being said, we do occasionally eat out.
From the grocery store we usually buy ingredients and end up making home-made meals. Being a student on a budget is hard work lol
