Just for yourself. If, for example, you spend $280/wk for you and your wife's food, you would pick $20. This includes snacks, sodas at school, candy, whatever.

Including beer, probably about $20/day. I get free pizza though so that helps

Depends... around $7 to $12... (sometimes only 1 meal a day because I'm bad.)

The reason that I ask is that I was looking and I'm spending nearly $20 per weekday on food. That's a horrendous amount. I need to cut it to under $10.

Bye bye Subway. :(


:p

at least $10/day, sometimes $20.

I eat out waaay too much. as of the begining of this month, I'm trying to eat out a lot less. maybe one or two meals/week instead of one or two meals/day.

~8-10 bucks a day.

If you're trying to cut down on food expenses, Taco Bell is your friend.

Dude, a footlong sub is like $6. How are you spending $20 a day?

When I'm living in an apartment, I spend about $90 a month (or $3/day). When I'm living in the dorms and have to eat in the cafeteria, it's more like $11-$12 a day.

Lunch = $3.50 - $6 (Chinese or Mexican or American)
Dinner = $6 - $8 (See Lunch)

I spend $250 or so a month on groceries. Then figure $10-50 a week going out to eat. I try to eat at home most all of the time.

Average 100 dollars per month per person in my family, so around 3 to 4 bucks a day. We don't eat out much.

$175/week for 2 ppl. Most of it is me as I eat a lot of chicken breast. Typically 10/chicken breasts a week just for myself.
