Monthly food expenses

Wife and I, 2 kids (1-2yrs old)

$500mth

ETA: Didn't see the eating out part, I was thinking just groceries....

Id add $300 to that....so $800mth

way too much


I don't even want to add it up

yeah I go eat lunch pretty much every day and that by itself runs $500 a month

I think for my family (wife, 2 kids), we spend around 800.

Family of 5

I would say $900-1k a month on groceries. Now that includes beer/wine/whiskey etc

Maybe $1200 if you figure in eating out. Donald Rouse sure seems to get a shitload of my money lately.

ETA: We eat out maybe twice a month and it is normally $60-80 or less not going anywhere fancy.

My wife and I, a 5 y/o boy and 3 y/o boy:

$700/month groceries
$200-300/month dining out/fast-food/cafeteria lunches

Two of us with a 1 y/o and we budget $600 in groceries. We don't eat out, ever, but we do order in food which is another $150 or so. So total about $750. Try to buy our meat in bulk at Costco and then go to the grocery store a few times a week to get veggies and other sides.

$500-600 on groceries. $400-500 eating out.

Family of 3.

Family of 4 (1.5 and 2.5 year old kids) $125-$150 a week at WalMart covers us for food, diapers and toiletries so $600 a month. Used to be higher when the wife was at home with them but now that portion is rolled up in daycare costs. Probably another $300 eating out for lunches a few times a week each.

$1200 a month on groceries alone, don't eat out much....food trucks on the weekend.

Family of 6, but kid #4 is just a baby
