Re: Groceries

Since I've been on ww and cooking, about $80/week. This does not including DH's lunch and sodas, which he buys most days.

Before ww, it was more like $50 in groceries and $200+ in take-out, delivery and going out to eat and $50 for my lunch, every two weeks. Also, not inclusive of DH's lunches and sodas.

2 people.

Re: Groceries

it USED TO be 250 for two weeks to feed three of us.

now... it's broken up a little differently because we buy food as needed... too broke to do a big shopping trip the way we used to. this forces us to eat left overs and be more mindful of what we have.

Re: Groceries

About $600/month. But that does not include how much we spend in total on food. We eat out more than 5x a week.

Re: Groceries

I've really been trying to stick to what's on sale for the last month, and buying in bulk when things DO go on sale. The most I've spent is $70/week for two of us.

Cat food is from BJ's, so that's separate, but that's really cheap, too.

Two people (and a puppy) about $80-$100 per week and we cook about 5-6 days a week and go home for lunch everyday. Costco trip it about once every 1 1/2- 2 months around $125.
