Re: groceries

For our family of three we spend about 100-150 a week or 500-700 a month on groceries. As it is the summer and we have a lot of parties we generally end up spending another 200-400 a month for July and August on entertaining food.

Re: groceries

Mine is about $200 per week.

Granted...there are 5 of us (plus whatever strays my kids bring home after school.) That includes breakfast, lunch for DH and I (kids eat school lunch most times) and dinners. We get take-out on Fridays during school year.

Re: groceries

$50-$100 for two. We are trying not to "eat out" and buy things on the go so sometimes it goes another $10 but that is it for us.

Re: groceries

We eat out a lot, so no i don't food shop on a regular basis.

During the summer we had a lot of family parties and friends over, so it was fairly routine to spend around 300-400 dollars just on food for saturday and sunday entertaining everyone. And every weekend it was nice out, we had people over.

We did a big stock up on drinks at BJ's this summer for all our guests and spent around $600, we thought we wouldnt have to replenish but we had to make another trip to BJ's to get more for everyone.

Re: groceries

Just Dh & I. We try to take lunch to work almost everyday. I take breakfast too, Dh has protein shakes. So..I'd say we do one BIG shopping about 2 times a month or once every three weeks. and we spend about $150-$175. But this includes cleaning products and paper goods.
