What Do You Spend On Groceries Per Week?

I think $125 a week is completely do-able! I am a huge couponer and for my family of 4, I spend less than that.....I stock up on things when they are on sale and I have a chest freezer in my basement to keep frozen food when I can get it cheap. I never pay a cent for toiletries, like I said I coupon and I'm able to keep my cost low or free for things like shampoo, conditioner, razoers, deoderant etc.....that way I can spend a little more on things like fresh produce and meat.

I agree and coupon for anything i can... but don't you find that it's more so for unhealthy items.. I definitely stock up when things are on sale and even more so if I have coupons...

I don't get how you are doing it..... I have a family of four and the only way I can spend that amount is to eat mostly unhealthy processed foods.. or couponing.. which is again for the mostly unhealthy processed fooods.. I find it's prob more like $250 a week and sometimes more when we need toiletries or dog food and stuff...eating healthy definitely costs a lot more than not..

Start looking for your produce locally instead of at the grocery stores. Grocery store produce is grossly overpriced and usually not as tasty as the local farmer's items.

We have a big farmer's market here where I got a trunkload of produce for $20 last week. It would've easily been $100 at the grocery store.

I spend about $130/week to feed two adults. I think it's important to ask where people are living. Groceries in Tulsa, OK are much cheaper than groceries in DC (where I'm living now).

For myself, it ranges from $50-$75 every two weeks, depending on what I'm out of. But I can usually get by with a cart full of fresh produce, meat, dairy, and some healthy snacks for around $55-$60.

A couple things that really helped me are making shopping lists (simple, but super-effective) and recording the actual prices of things. When I get home, I copy down everything on my receipt into a notebook, including the item name, how many and/or price per pound (for produce and things), the total item(s) price, and then a grand total at the bottom. This helps me track the fluctuation of price of produce and things like that, so I can better plan what I'm going to buy.

Oh, and if you're a student, Sam's (possibly Costco) has an annual student discount to where you only pay $40/year instead of the usual $100/year.

It's just me... and I swear I spend about $500 a month.. maybe more! I do buy dog food and cat food etc... but yeah, it seems like a lot.

I could spend a lot less, but since I started buying a lot more fruit and veggies my grocery bill has gone up by several hundreds of dollars.

I used to live off canned and packaged food and spend maybe 150$ a month on myself and another 100$ on pet food and supplies. Now everything is fresh and unprocessed... and it's a lot more... vegetables are really expensive.

How are you people doing this? I can easily spend $500+ a month on just myself! Mad props to all of you ingenious ladies and gentlemen

$450.00 or so a month for 2 people.

However, that does not include when we go out to eat or when we have to pick up other items. We usually run out of almond milk, cereal and sugar free sweet tea.

Frozen veggies can supplement your fresh for next to nothing or free with coupons and store specials. They also last longer.

Feeding 10 people on $650/month. We do lots of Sam's Club/Aldi's stocking of shelves, buying in bulk, making from scratch, etc.
I don't use coupons because we don't eat those things! (ever notice that only processed foods come with coupons???) Our kids are homeschooled so they are all home 24/7....including 3 teens. Oh, and this includes toiletry/diapers/beauty items, too.

There are coupons for many, many healthy items. It takes a little effort, but you'd really be surprised. And I make everything from scratch also.

I usually spend around $100-$125 a week (usually closer to the $100 though)... that's for two adults and one baby... I also count non-food items... sometimes I count petfood and supplies, sometimes not... since that's not a weekly thing and it's more like bimonthly. And the funny thing is... I have found that 100% whole wheat bread is cheaper than white bread... by almost a whole dollar now... at least it is at our Target... and I'm talking Mrs. Baird's bread (not sure if that's sold outside of Texas very widely)... I usually buy two or three different kinds of fruit (depending on sales)... enough produce to make a fresh green salad in addition to frozen veg... and everything else.

I spend about $150.00 a week for groceries for a family of two. Let me explain! My daughter has about 13 food allergies so everything is from scratch and organic. I wish I could cut this amount down to at least $100.00.

IF you use coupons for toothpaste, bodywash, deodorant, etc , it will save you money to use towards the healthy stuff.

I do NOT pay for toothpaste, deodorant, shampoo, etc. I combine coupons with sales. In fact, yesterday I got 4 kid toothpaste for FREE (had to pay tax) at Walgreens. That saved me $3ish per tube.

We spend £70 for all 5 of us a week I'm in the UK so don't know what that is in $ sorry

I'd say we spend about $150 a week on a family of 3. This includes all non-food items as well, I think that's pretty average.
