View Full Version : How much do you spend on groceries weekly?
Janice 07-13-2007, 12:27 AM It's just my husband and I...and the two kitties, lol. We spend, on average, $125 weekly on groceries. I also spend another $30 to $50 for health and beauty products at CVS. Another $20 at the liquor store.
We get take-out about twice a week, and eat out once a week, so that's another $100. All together, it comes to about $250 to $300 weekly for food and essentials.
We don't eat a lot, we just eat well. When we entertain, cookouts, etc, that sends our grocery bill through the roof. Life is expensive, lol.
Ireneparalegal 07-13-2007, 01:00 AM Well, let me see. Regular grocery shopping will cost us around $200 a week. It is me, my boyfriend and my two daughters. However, I don't make a daily dinner meal like I used to. I don't make breakfast, only for my son. There is no lunch around here, we usually eat out or have an early dinner, whether we eat out or I make something here. I spend another $55 to $70 every two weeks on toiletries, detergents, toilet paper, household cleaners, etc.
Some of my groceries consist of microwaveable stuff, frozen food stuff, a lot of fresh fruits like watermelon, apples, bananas, nectarines, etc. for snacking. We are trying to eat healthier and rather than a snack like we used to have (cake, brownies, etc.) we are trying to eat better. Also, those large packages of drinking water, juice and diet sodas.
phoebe7165 07-13-2007, 02:01 AM Groceries? Soooo, are we talking human food and pet food?lol I guess so since you mentioned your 2 little kitties. Now I have 3 dogs & 3 cats plus I buy squirrel corn(those bags run $3+ a bag). All in all one trip to the store usually runs me about $150, then if I have to shop for some holiday-related thing, about $200. I always have a list with me. If I didn't, I know I would forget so much, plus I think it keeps me from 'straying'. I try not to do much impulse buying, but once in a while...
Those darn TV-DVD sets!!
Then I eat out once or twice a week, and maybe takeout once or twice a week. I guess $75 a week.
coffield3 07-13-2007, 07:02 PM About £80 a week
Mr. Stefani 07-13-2007, 08:22 PM $400-500. Its us 3 guys, mom, step dad, cat, dog, 4 parrots, and my sister and brother in law 2x a week for dinner. and our various friends that like to eat our food. Ive only recently started noticing these things. Being on my own is going to be a rude awakening.
I usually get all the essentials at Walmart (ours is very nice & clean here) and i spend between $100 & $200 a week. But part of that is for non-food items. Then we eat out 2 or 3 times a week.

Crimson and Clover 07-13-2007, 09:26 PM 2 adults, 2 kids about $90 a week.
dawsongirl 07-14-2007, 01:03 AM Usually around $100 for 3 people. Health/Beauty and Paper Goods is another $50 probably. Good thing they don't run out as quickly. My parents also buy a lot of that stuff at Sam's Club, so we have like 30 rolls of paper towels and 60 rolls of TP.
