re: How much do you spend a month on food?

Family of 5, groceries are typically 350-400 a week.
We eat out once a week, cheapest we can eat out is still over 100.

Over 2k a month on a normal month, if schedules are more hectic and we have to snag fast food or something or goes up. It fluctuates.

I would say on average 2,500-3,200.

Two people, probably around $1500-1800/mo.

Probably around $900-$1000 on groceries. Another 2-300 on the eating out. So anywhere from 1100 to 1300 depending on the month.

Family of 3. One of which being a 3 year old with an insatiable berry habit.

$2k to $3k…family of 4 w/two teenage boys. That includes beer and wine too so it’s probably high.

I'm not judgin', but if every day of the year each human in my family blew $25 each on food I'd punch a wall(s). Not built to handle that myself

I agree. I think in my case it’s a matter of not having the important conversations pre-marriage. Wife doesn’t cook. Kids are spoiled. They better hope nothing ever happens to my career.

This is a good point

We mostly cook at home and my wife is an excellent old school, Southern cook. It definitely makes food a much smaller expense for us.

I try to eat healthy foods and shop for stuff that isn't junk. Just buying quality protiens costs me at least a few hundred and that doesn't include a single veggie or fruit.

Family of 4, guessing about $850 in groceries and school lunches, then probably another $550 in dinning out on weekends and late practice/game nights.
