    I bet it's 500 a month for my daughter and I. Maybe a bit more.

    I'd guess around $400 for just myself.

    Every time I try and cut the food budget I end up eating out more. I've decided home cooking deserves the best. It is still cheaper than eating out. And leftover nights are free.

    less than $200/month for one person. I haven't been buying meat b/c I was gifted a lot of hunted venison. I don't have access to fresh fish, and don't like buying frozen. I buy whatever produce is on sale, some organic. I buy lots of store brands. Lots of yogurt, but not greek because it's nearly twice the price. Since getting my portion sizes in order, I've found my food budget either: 1)stretches farther or 2) has some room for specialty ingredients to make yummier recipes! (weakness for imported cheeses and olives)

    100 EUR for myself, dog food, toiletries etc. not included. Just goceries. My Ramen lunches of 30 cents save a lot of money (yeees, I know they are the shittiest food you can eat, but it's cheap and so damn tasty :blush: )

    $70-90/week, depending (so $280-360 I guess), 1 person. Not counting eating out (which I do maybe 2-3 times a week, no more than $12-15/plate). I eat a lot of meat and dairy.

    For me alone, I spend about 120$ a month, which equals every single meal being cooked from scratch at home. Mostly organic, totally vegan food.
