About $250 a month.

But that doesn't include the paper products and stuff I get at Target (toothpaste, toilet paper, paper towels, etc.)

Honestly, my problem is I do not clip coupons which would be of great help. All the time I keep saying I will strat to clip the coupons but I never get around to it. This price I quote does not even include going to the fish market. DH and I eat alot of fish so I have to go to the fish market as well.

Re: How much do you spend on groceries in a week?

oh my god i spend so much

i dont even want to think about it


i just calculated


from 6/15-7/15 i spent $481!!!!!!!!!!!

we did have 2 bbq's though...


i just calculated 5/15-6/15 and it was $330 - which is probably more normal

so about $80-85 a week - and thats just 2 people!!!!!!!!!!
but im cooking ALOT and making recipes..

maybe i should cut down on the cooking..

my probelm is i never clip coupons and I also just buy what i need. and i "need" more than i think i do.

Re: How much do you spend on groceries in a week?

We only spend about $20-40 a week, depending on how many nights we will be home. We buy all our meat at either Fairway, John's Farms, or BJs though. We also buy all our non-food items (ie paper towels, detergent) at BJs. We probably spend $200 a month on these trips.

Re: How much do you spend on groceries in a week?

We're usually $60-80 per week for the two of us. Last week DH spent over $50 on filet mignon alone. Chat Icon 5 days later almost all the filet mignon is gone! and I only ate one piece!

Paper towels, TP, Toothpaste, etc... we buy at costco

We've tried to keep it on the low side, but it gets tricky ... I buy things on sale and stock up a lot of times to. Right now I have probably 15 lbs of chicken cutlets, 10 pork chops, 6 turkey tunderloins, 20 hamburgers, 4 lbs of chopmeat, 4 lbs of ground turkey, 6 steaks, 6 chicken burgers, 1 huge turkey I'm not sure what to do with right now, etc, etc ... I buy boneless chicken breasts when they are on sale ($1.79-$1.99 lb) and make my own chicken cutlets.

I also buy fresh vegetables and fruit every week ... which adds up (sometimes close to $25 on just that).

We spend about $50-$100 a week. It really depends on if we need things that we normall have. Just meals alone, is $50, if things need to be refilled, then it goes up a little bit.

But we bring breakfast and lunch to work and eat dinner in during the week, so....it really isn't that bad!

$50 a week, but we also eat lunch or dinner out besides that a few times.

We spend about $40 per week-sometimes less. This week I'll probably only spend maybe $25. We go to BJ's every couple of months and spend $150-200. We eat dinner out maybe 1x per week and lunch about 1x per week. I prefer to take my breakfast and lunch to work and DH usually eats only dinner.

Re: How much do you spend on groceries in a week?



Our grocery bill (for just me and him) is never under $250.

It ranges from $250-400 and its scary that in one week, the food is GONE!

And we have to start all over again.

I guess all the Vitamin Waters and SOBE drinks we buy dont help the price either.
