What's your monthly food budget?

Grocery store, eating out, Starbucks, etc?
I have no clue what mine is but I'm starting the new year by keeping track

Excel Spreadsheet will help you out greatly with this.
Started one a year or so ago.
Got down to roughly $20 a week at one point (I live alone)

I ate the same thing every day for a week though.

I should be keeping a budget but I don’t. If I had to guess, we spend maybe $150/week on groceries and beer/wine for the house.
So I’d put $600/mo for two people as a rough estimate.
Honestly it’s not the grocery bill that needs to come down, it’s the eating out budget that’s always been out of control for us.

This is probably something I should start keeping track of, but I don’t currently. If I had to guess, I’d say I spend maybe $200 a month on groceries, for me and my SO. Plus $50-$80 a month grabbing food somewhere else... doesn’t happen every month
I don’t see why I couldn’t get it down at least $50 from that. That’s gonna be the goal at least...
I almost always cook at home because it’s easier for me, and cheaper. I have no problem eating the same thing for 3 or 4 days in a row, usually not for a week though...I just don’t make that much.

I have never broken it down, but I'd guess it ranges between 600-800 depending on the month

I’d guess $600-$800 a month for me and the wife... depends on eating out...

According to my credit card statement 1200-2200/month.
Covers everything food and drink

I'm scared to even try to figure it. We eat well.

~$150/week for groceries
~$150/week eating out (lunch, dinner, coffee, etc)
Family of 3.
Need to get that eating out down to below $100. Wife’s Starbucks habit drives that up.

I highly doubt you only spend $200/month for two people. If you do that's very impressive and means you don't waste or overbuy anything. Its likely if you don't track though that it's more around the $300/month range at least.

I was only able to keep that up for about a month an a half.
Went bare necessities just to see what was possible.
$30-$40 a week is more realistic if I'm being honest.

You should feed your 4 year old son something better than dog food. Or stop calling your 4 year old dog your son. Either way.
