Current Events > How much is your grocery bill per month?

(+) Yeah! (+)

I mean food and dry goods you get from the grocery store combined.

I think mine is WAY too fucking high for 2 people, like $1200+.

Mine is like 200 for 1 person but quickly increasing

I spend around $250/mo on myself. Sometimes less.

$250 per month for two people here

what are you buying, wagyu ?

Probably about $250. I try to eat something cheap for breakfast like hot dogs, then after work I just eat one meal, and some snacks if I get hungry after. Sometimes I have an energy drink but I've been trying to either get the ones on sale, have a V8 energy drink or have one of those caffeinated flavor packets you add to water.
That's not counting stuff I buy for the dogs but that's not usually a lot.

If I cooked everything 200 or so.

I try to keep it around $300/mo for groceries + eating out (just myself)

roughly 400 a month for 1 person. I've kept it that low thru the price jumps, but i just eat less meat now

I spend about $200-$300 every other month or so.

$400-$800 for me and my wife
Honestly, I don't really pay that much attention.

Me and my fiancee (plus our dog and snake) - About $300 per month.

A lot. I go at least once a week and spend anywhere from $150-$400 depending on what the family wants. I'd guess over $1000.

Around $300 max for myself. Hell, 3 bags of food usually nets around $80-$100. I dont buy a ton of meat. If I did, itd be more.

I think one thing that kicks it up too much is we buy a lot of diet soda and club soda.

Nah, I live with my mom and she buys a lot of shit. If it were just me that shit would be WAY less. Like she has to buy Depends and supplements and shit like that.

Around 600-800. I eat a lot of grass fed meat and no carbs, so the cost adds up.

About $1000 for my family of 6.

Try to keep it under $800 for 2 people and 2 cats

I'd say we hit our goal more often than not

I averaged $120 per month on only myself last year.

Maybe $200-250, including booze.

food stamps give me $250 a month

there's a badge of shame to have stamps (i get help from it). it helps in my food budget i spend about 200$ per month.
without it. i would be worse off :(.

using walmart compared to safeway for my lunch stuff saves some money. costco for my dinner and breakfast items.
though milk is 59 cents higher but i get it for convenience.

bought some teriyaki pineapple chicken meatballs. they said these were good. going to have to try it with rice and sweet bbq sauce.

Must be a lot in fact.

shopping for just one here.

i go to the grocery once a week and my typical shopping list results in something like a $40-$60 bill per trip. however, some weeks it'll be higher if i need to buy something like dog food, or if a few of the bulk items i guy all need refilled in a single trip. just the other day my bill was just over $100 because i ran out of a bunch of stuff at once.

so for the month, i'd average it out to $250

edit: this includes anything i buy at the 'grocery store', which includes bathroom / hygiene products along with 'household' items like paper towels, TP, etc.

My wife does the shopping and spends about 650 a month. It's way too much. We don't really do take out other than one planned time a month and on special occasions. That's including items like garbage bags, toilet paper and plastic silverware I use for my lunches (I don't want to bring our actual silverware).

There's no shame in food stamps, cousin.

There really isn't. I had them in my early 20s when I qualified for them and I had no shame. The way I see it I was paying taxes that go towards these programs and if I qualify to receive them damn right I'm gonna sign up. I'd still have them right now if I was still eligible.

$700-900

$1200 sounds like a lot to me. You could almost rent an apartment for that much (where I live). I normally dont spend more than about $250/month for two people.

Family of 4, ranging from 13-45.

Its about 600-750 a month.

Im more of a bargain/sale shopper than my wife is. So $600 if I do the shopping, $750 if she does.

Family of 4, kids are now entering teens so they eat more than me (lol) - $1400 a month. We dont eat out, my husband eats keto and nuts and cheese add up, kids and I cant eat tomatoes, potatoes, or peppers (including pepper spices) so really no cheap processed foods. Meat and produce adds up.

About $600-$700 a month between me and my wife. We grow a lot of our own vegetables so that isn't something we buy much at all, same with eggs, we have 9 hens. We eat a lot of fish and seafood which adds up.

Doesn't include food for the animals.

like $35 a week lol

around about 1500 maybe for me, my wife and my daughter.

I could definitely get by on less but groceries are one thing I dont really mind somewhat splurging on.

Around $500 or so for just groceries for me and my wife. We use the monthly coupons and look for deals where we can.

I have $270 set out each month for food and necessities like that, and typically come in under

300-400 for 2 people for groceries. I don't really eat out much, so that's mainly it.

I wonder if people posting low numbers, end up eating out a lot and aren't posting that number?

I dunno. A couple hundred maybe.

There's a grocery store that's a few minutes walk up the street from me. So I stop in quite regularly to pick up things. I don't keep track of how much I spend.

400 ish bucks a month for two and a half people (I have my sister three days a week for dinner)

~$200 with cooking almost all my meals three times a day

Some monies

$400
