How much do you spend on groceries a week?

**mommy2many** · 11-10-2004, 01:38 PM

And how many are in your family.

**Missy** · 11-10-2004, 01:43 PM

four people with no holidays, no birthdays...

our last check into the break down of our grocery bill was between 45-50 a week. I am trying to cut that down even further.

There are 3 people here. And, we spend $70 a week on groceries. That includes cleaning supplies, toiletries, pet food, etc. I would love to lower it, but no matter what I do it seems that I can't lower my bill. uggh!

Four people, and my 2 grown kids and their families eat here frequently,too. We spend anywhere from $125 on a good week to $200+

Like Melissa, if there are no holidays, for two adults I usually spend $60 every two weeks and that does not include a trip to to Costco for meat. In VT we have very expensive groceries, but we have a liquidation store that I shop at to get great deals on nonperishable stockpile items. Such as pasta, tomatoes, condiments, paper goods, etc. Stockpiling really helps on paring down the cost of weekly groceries for us.

Just the two of us here. I spend anywhere between $30 and $50 on groceries, pet supplies, toiletries, etc a week......

There are 5 of us; 2 adults, 2 teenagers, and a 10 yo who eats more than anyone else in the family. I usually spend around $70-80 a week, maybe more if there are birthdays, holidays, etc. I've really been able to save a lot since the Aldi store came to town!

I'm very grateful for Aldis.

For our family of three, we spend an average of $75 a week, including paper, cleaning and health and beauty products. Some weeks when the sales are good, I will spend as much as $100, other weeks, I can get by on as little as $25, if nothing good is on sale. I also LOVE Aldi's! This year they built one less than a mile from our home.

This includes all food, pet supplies, paper products, HBA, etc.

3 of us 2 adults and 1 teenager who eats like there is no tomorrow.
Food only - $50.00 per week
With pet supplies and other personal items - $65.00 per week

**sunshine** · 11-10-2004, 08:17 PM

Four of us daily, sometimes extra teens or family members (plus I buy loss leaders for 4 other households).

I spend $60-70/week if there are no holidays and the sales are average. If the sales are lousy-- I can spend nothing and if the sales are great. . . .well, I can spend $100/week.

I include all H&B items and pet food (except the horse) in my total.

$70 - $80 a week. We have 2 adults, 4 kids, and one puppy. I also feed 2 neighbor kids dinner about 2-3 times a week. ( I think these are the only decent meals they get outside of school.)
