We're over a thousand. I showed that to my wife a few months ago and she about had a coronary. It's easy to spend $40-60 at Rouses a few times a week and never even notice it. She's started just keeping track of grocery expenses, which is probably half the battle right there - just being aware of what you're doing.

Food is biggest 'random' in my monthly personal budget. I honestly do not have any idea what I spend on it but I budget $900 ($600 eating out, $300 groceries) for just me and the girlfriend.
I don't bring my lunch and we eat out a lot. I cover her bill 75% of the time so I am paying for two a good bit of the time. We rarely eat at very fancy places though.
I enjoy cooking but I do not like bringing my lunch to work...at least not yet. Time to go check Mint and see how much I spend on food each month...
ETA: I spent $140 for work lunches in October. I spent right at $600 for the entire month for food (including going out and groceries). That's reasonable for me.
I was spending $900-1000 when I traveled every week and ate out 98% of the time. But, I was reimbursed for all of those expenses...per diem is amazing.
