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

400-500/month for just me, and I cook everything myself. I could probably knock that down 25-50% if I absolutely had to, but it's not worth it to me.

Seventy-five percent of my groceries are bought at Walmart. Nothing extravagant. Still 1200-1400 per month.
We don't have a Walmart close by, so I only go in there once in a while. They don't seem that cheap to me, for what I buy. I usually go to the Pig.

2 of us, probably $800-$1200. That includes cleaning products, HBA, pet food, etc. We bring leftovers for lunch.

Depends on how many meals out.
My heb bill is 600 a month, maybe another 100 in incidentals, order in a couple times, maybe take the kids out once per week.

That's what skews mine a little higher.
We are trying to do better this year in that department. I have enough beer in my fridge and basement to last a couple of months, yet I still feel the need to buy more when I'm at the store.

Groceries appeared to run me $6800 last year. That seems to low but I will take it.

Just groceries probably about $500-$600.
Now if you factor in TP, washing detergent, paper towels, dishwashing liquid, etc....probably $800 or more.

Easily-if you’re lucky, you’re feeding their friends, too. Happiest years of my life.

My daughter has a friend whose mom has celiac disease and puts the whole family on a gluten free diet. That girl comes to our house and eats everything in sight.

About $500/mo for me, wife, 4yo and infant. This is groceries only, not eating out.
Posted on 2/1/20 at 10:47 am to Northwestern tiger
$1,500 - Family of 5 (kids 11, 8, 3)
Not sure how some of you guys are doing this. My wife goes to multiple grocery stores to try and save money and we are still always right at $1,500. This does not include eating out or when kids buy at school.
- Weekly Wal-mart pickup for staples
- Weekly (sometimes more) Publix run for meats
- Bi-weekly Costco run for wine, snacks, etc.

My wine budget alone is in line with most of these answers

Family of 3-
About $500.
Getting out of diapers and specialty formula made a huge difference. Also, does not include alcohol.

I'm including alcohol. Maybe that is why I'm so much higher?

Family of 4 with two kids under 10.
$800-$1200 plus another $300-$600 in restaurants.
I don’t know how we spend so much, I think we just waste a lot but we also eat very healthy (most of the time) and that’s not always cheap.

Probably 500 but that includes household stuff. Don eat out much and stuff is expensive here.
