How much do you...

Spend per week in food??? I think we are spending too much. We spend a lot at the food store and then we still eat out sometimes. I just want to get an idea of where we spend and where we can cut down.

130-150. This includes pet food, litter, and house hold items such as paper towels.
Food itself I would say around 125 on average. Dh brings a sandwich everyday for lunch so I spend about $25 on cold cuts. He also won't eat leftovers(my only picky eater). I hate wasting food so I started trying to get 2 meals from 1. Like last week I roasted a pork loin and used the leftovers for a stirfry a few days later. Dh had no idea and loved it.

I spend b/w $50-$90 at the grocery store most weeks, typically closer to $60ish. DH eats out maybe once a week for lunch. Generally we eat breakfast at home, both pack lunches, and eat dinner at home. Some weeks if we eat out on the weekends or something it's more, but in general, we don't do that.

Generally around $50-75 per week, but it all depends on what we need (cat food/litter, paper/cleaning products, etc.)

Re: How much do you...

I just spent $175 total between two places. This will last 2 weeks when supplemented by some take out, once in a while lunches out and maybe a dinner or two out.

I'm not counting DH buying breakfast and lunch almost everyday. Don't get me started.

I take breakfast and lunch from home almost exclusively.

Not including cat litter and food and most paper products.

Costco once every two months for about $150.
