How much $ do you spend on groceries every week/month?

[Deleted member 4644]

Less than 200, unless you count beer.

I spend about $150 to $200 a month on groceries, but only for me and doesn't count eating out/fastfoods.

 

[beer]

I spend about $200 a month or so on food and that doesn't count a $5.68 lunch every day. I eat a lot though. I don't eat crap like ramen or even pasta, unless I'm dumping a pound of sausage in it.

That's insane.

I typically spent about 40-50 a week for myself. So that would be about 160-200 per month and sometimes I amy have spent more than that. I also rarely ate out and if I did it was not fast food.

 

[dethman]

probably 100/mo

 

[Rudee]

About $140/week for 2 ppl. Lots of chicken breasts, fish, turkey, veggies. I'll go through $25 worth of chicken breast alone in a week.

figure i'm going to drop around 3 bills tomorrow on shopping for food this month.
spent 98 bucks on groceries yesterday.
do my major food shopping once a month and am lucky to get out with a 200 dollar bill.
then do my need a gallon of milk everyday and new veggies every week thing to boot.
but then again i do like good food and can cook...

right now im budgeting about 200/mo.

i bought about 50 bucks of groceries today .. mostly food, some tp and stuff.. as long as you dont splurge on the unnecessary stuff (alcohol) you should be fine.

Figure in coffee\breakfast for $8 or so, and $10-25 for lunch, and $20-50 for dinner. Times, let's say just 20 days out of a month. That's over $1000 right there.

Usually a cup of coffee and a scone\muffin @ Starbucks in the morning runs $8.
A lunch at Benihanas or most of the other north Dallas restaurants is going to come out to $20.
Dinner at a restaurant that isn't Chiles, Applebees, Black Eyed Pea, Bennigans, or other mass marketed crap is going to run $30 a person.

I think some of you are UNDER estimating.

About 400/month for a family of 4. I could probably drop that a bit.

I dunno, couple hundred.

I go to the market every couple days to get fresh veggies and such.

What do you people eat rice and beans?

I can't get out of a grocery store without spending $200 once a week for a family of four.

 

[Mo0o]

If you want to save money, buy in bulk at costco and just keep that stuff around.

 

[blurredvision]

My girlfriend and I spend roughly $100 every 2 weeks. This is for all groceries, bathroom supplies, and laundry supplies.

You gotta consider that a large portion of people here are either single, and/or in college. "Cooking" consists of

1) peel off cover
2) nuke
3) eat

Eating like that can be done for under $200 a month.
