How much do you usually spend on groceries every week? I know some of you dont buy ur own groceries cuz ur still like under 18 or whateva, but how much do you and ur family usually spend?

We usually spend about $120 and there is four of us. Me my little brother, Bryan, my dad, and my mom. About 2 or 3 weeks ago we spent a little more than that. Hehe. I wont say how much.

So how much do ya spend and how many people in ur house hold do ya buy for?

Teddy: You all set for tomorrow night?
Jinny: I have my bullet proof vest polished if that's what you mean.
Teddy: Come on, Jinny.
Jinny: Oh, yes. Actually... I bought a dress.
Teddy: You did?
Jinny: There is no guarantee, however, that I am going to wear it.
Teddy: So, uh... I don't know. What else did you buy?
Jinny: How do you know I bought you anything for your birthday? Maybe I plan on knitting you a sweater or... give you something much more organic.
Teddy: Well, you do give good organic.

Teddy: What's this dress look like anyway?
Jinny: Oh, yeah, OK. Low cut, skin tight, animal print, ruffle at the bottom. Don't you have lawyering to do?

Teddy: Be honest with me, not my parents!
Jinny: All right, fine. You want honesty? Why don't you let me tell you a little bit about my family? See, I never really had a birthday party unless you wanna count my 15th, when my father showed up for cake, plastered in his underwear! Oh... yeah, by the way, my mom couldn't make it that year either because, well, sadly, six months earlier she blew her brains out!!!!!
Teddy: Jinny, my God.
Jinny: As for my brother, ugh... yeah, John... see, he just doesn't like you unless your American, white, and straight... and for me, a few weeks ago when I had that nut case after me... yeah, I had to make a little list, of all the guys that I've slept with in the last two years. I couldn't remember some of their names.
Teddy: Stop.
Jinny: Ya know what? This is who I am, this is my family!!!! Come on, it's your turn. Go ahead, flash that all-American, prep school, choir boy smile and you tell me that it doesn't matter!...It doesnt change anything...Yea thats what I thought.

A day with Blair is like walking up San Juan Hill. Every time you turn around she's yelling CHARGE!

Is this like every week or for every two weeks or something?

coily2 · 06-30-2001, 06:24 PM

When I was a kid, my brothers and I would play a game where we would dump random crap in the grocery cart when our mom wasn't looking. The goal of our game was to get her to spend more than $100. Of course, this was the late 70's/early 80's, and I have no idea what feeding a family of 5 translates to these days.

Nowadays, I spend $120, and that will last me and my husband about 2 weeks. But we usually eat out quite a bit too.

JoPol_wannabe · 06-30-2001, 10:15 PM

Well when my mom goes in and buys her groceries she usually charges them but when she pays of the charge account it's either around 150$ or 200$.

joblairtootnatmrs.g · 06-30-2001, 10:52 PM

Between $100 and $150

Jordan · 07-16-2002, 05:59 PM

My problem is: I never have any money to spend!!!!!!

JoJoJoJoJoJoJoJoJo · 07-16-2002, 06:32 PM

Dear Lord! Those things will kill you.
Switch to something healthier, like Spaghettio's.

Anyhoo,
I shop for myself, and usually spend between 40 and 50 bucks a week. I try to stretch my food budget by clipping coupons and using my Food Emporium Bonus Savings Club Card.

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to kill myself...

Kay Scarpetta · 07-16-2002, 09:19 PM

My mom usually does about $120 for her, my dad, and my sister...... I don't eat anymore.
