How much do you spend on groceries per week?

About £400 per month. Would be cheaper if my son would eat a wider variety than one type of cereal imported from south africa

About $200 a month, though I am increasing that to $230 or so to give myself a little more wiggle room. That is for a single female in IN and includes things like OTC meds, kitty litter, personal items, and paper items. So not just food. I also only eat out a couple times a month. Usually Mexican for dinner with a friend and then one other splurge. To give an idea of what I eat:

B- Greek Yogurt, nuts, eggs, toast, egg muffins, fruit, oatmeal
L- Salads with fresh vegetables, nuts, cheese, protein, and dressing usually with a hardboiled egg on the side. Sometimes I will stuff the same items into a pita or tortilla.
D- Lots of options. Over the next 2 weeks I have pulled pork, green chili chicken tacos, and chicken topped with cheese and spinach. I always have some sort of vegetable and I buy a LOT of frozen vegetables in steamable bags cause I can be lazy.
S- Cottage cheese, hummus with vegetables, popcorn, fruit, individual chocolates, frozen fruit bars

I'm from Michigan so I'm not sure of price point comparisons. So for my gf and I and our two dogs (they eat home cooked meals because of epilepsy and allergies). We spend about $400 a month.

We are able to cut down to $300 or less a month from June - October because we signed up for a farm share. $300 for the season and we get over a half bushel of fresh, organic vegetables every week. Honestly the best money I've ever spent is on this farm share. If any of you have the ability to sign up for one I would recommend looking into it.

We also batch cook. So some weeks we only make two different recipes and we eat it every other day. Kind of boring but typically only do this with things we really, really love. This also includes us going out to eat once a week for dinner.

Family of 6. We average out to around $100/week. Some weeks I only buy milk and bread, some weeks I stock the freezer. I also grow a lot of our food. And we have a large flock of chickens, so all the eggs we could possibly eat.

I live in Canada, so food costs more here. We spend on average about $300/week for a family of 4. This is down from $400/week when my son lived at home. We eat out maybe one night a week ($50-75) and the rest of the time all meals are homemade, including breakfasts and lunches. We have a large garden that we eat out of six months of the year. We also have two teenage daughters who eat a TON and are very physically active (both have 2nd degree Black Belts in Taekwon-Do), training 3 days per week, skateboarding and riding their bikes to/from school/work. When my daughter was away at university this past year, we saved $100/week on food without her! The majority of our food budget goes to fresh fruit and veggies, dairy and protein (chicken, ground beef, pork tenderloin and whatever is on sale), but that also includes paper products, laundry soap (our girls generate a lot of laundry, too) and cleaning products. We eat well and don't have to worry about eating on a budget but I still shop sales and buy things in bulk. I also can and freeze our own fruit and veggies every summer, make my own jam, relish, salsa and so forth. I like knowing what I put in my body and what I feed my family is healthy and low in salt, sugar, preservatives, and hormones.

Wow!! What ages in your family? My teenaged son eats more than anyone else in the house. $100.00 per week sounds so impossible.

You guys need to teach me. I only buy for myself and I’m around $700 a month for food only.. 😔
