I spend about $500 a month at Stop and Shop. It's me, DH, my 2 year old and a 3 month old.

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

I just added up all my supermarket receipts and costco receipts for the last month and it came to $683.47.

$220 of that was costco for paper goods etc and that lasts about 2-3 months.

It averages out to $115/wk supermarket. Additional $27/wk for paper goods. So $142/wk is the net average.

I tend to buy a lot of lean cusines and stuff for lunch. That saves on buying lunch.

Just wanted to add that I don't shop every week. In fact, every two weeks is about right.

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



same here, give or take refilling cleaning products, paper towles, etc.

I ALWAYS look for a sale, and buy my produce at the local stands, cheaper and fresher!!!

Western Beef is great too, limited selection, but the same products are always cheaper than Stop and Shop....

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

I've cut back a lot because it was getting out of control. Now I shop for meats and side dishes about once a month or so for about $150 and every week on regular milk, bread and veggies about $50. There's no such thing as left overs in my house or we'd have a lot more food. My husband feels he has to eat everything I cook at one sitting, which i guess is a compliment, but still.

We spend about $60 on just groceries per week. But we never eat from home on the weekends or Friday night, otherwise it would probably be more.

ETA: Im not cooking as much as I used to and when we first got married we had guests over all the time so our bills were much higher then. Like $150/ week.

About 60 bucks a week. About once a month, we spend more because we buy items like paper towels and tp in bulk.

Anywhere from $90-120 every week/week and a half...depending on what we need (oils, spices, detergent add up). We don't belong to Costco, etc.

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

For July( I just checked my statement) it was 570 but we just moved and needed to stock up on lots of cleaning supplies and stuff.

I would say usually 450 a month for just DH and I. But we don't deny ourselves anything.

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

About $140 a week, for 2 ppl.

We live in an apt. and don't really have storage space for stuff from BJs and Costco.

We clip coupons and buy stuff that's on sale. And we both bring lunch to work and have dinner at home a few nights a week.
