Question How much a week on groceries do you spend?

Just wondering what you people spend a week on groceries. I probably average about $50 or so per week (Canadian $). But I probably spend around $60-70 a week on eat out food!

jeez...thats kinda tough...well, with my wife and two kids....we average around 150 at Wal-Mart and another 50-60 at HEB Pantry...

HEB has better prices on their meat, but Wal-Mart does the trick when it comes to competitors ads.

I decided a long time ago that if I quit watching how much money sent to the grocer......I'd live longer. Not sure of its working.....but I worry less.

130 Can$/week for me, my g/f, two dogs and six cats... includes beer. i posted a rant here somewhere about how much she spends on food and since i started cutting coupons and hunting sales with her we're doing a lot better

but she she's an amateur gourmet and you get what you pay for

today she made double chocolate muffins to put as snacks in my lunch... for desert she gave me ice cream with a homemade strawberry sauce made with fresh strawberries (yum!)

yesterday was lasagna (homemade)

tuesday rice and curry chicken vegetable stir fry

monday, caneloni (again with the spinach and special cheese how i like it)

lot of steak, porkchops, usually two vegetable on the side

only time i cook is when i bbq

Usually $100 every week. About once a month we spend $200 - $250 to restock the little things, like porridge, or batteries, or tooth paste. Stuff like that.

We spend $300-400 at Wal-mart a month for groceries. I can't give a per week price since we go to the store every few days. Thats for 2 adults, 2 teenaged boys and my pupper and cat.

porridge - I havn't heard that word in a long time! Down here in America it's called oatmeal. I spend about $100/week for me, wife, kid, beagle, 12 fish and a hamster.
