discussion How much do you spend on groceries?

[shinyshimmery]

The price hike on everything has got me shook and clutching my coin purse.  I spend around $200 - $400 a month on groceries depending on if it's toiletries vs food items. If it's just food, it's about $200-$300... for a 2 person household. How much do ya'll spend?

[Bhabylon]

At least $500 a month 

[Devin]

$300-350 

 

Wish I knew someone who sold stamps. 

[JoeAg]

probably about $400 a month yeah, i’m gonna shop when i get my paycheck on friday i think 

[Pavement Princess]

100-150 a month.

[Dystopian]

$400 in a two person household.

[Cyanide]

About 150 each time at Trader Joe’s so 300 per month…. Imagine if I got groceries from erewhon 

[BGXKB]

At least $50 a week and there’s no going lower without actually starving. I NEED to get on that EBT.

[Into The Void]

I don't do the food shopping 

[Breathe On Moi]

$400 at least tbh  seems the norm after seeing the other posts in here.

[Zeferino]

$90 - $120 at my local HEB 

[Swirl900]

I budget $450 for food a month but this is half takeout/delivery/restaurants.

 

Every time I go to the grocery store I cry internally though because the prices are literally rising by the WEEK

[Goaty]

like $300/month for just me

[The7thStranger]

We rotate. I tend to spend about 50 - 60 EUR when it's my turn.

50-60 EUR per week? I do my grocery shopping daily and I try to limit myself to a 10 EUR budget per day for groceries

 

I also have an obsession with coupons and discounts  

 

 

[Vrajesh]

50-60 EUR/Week so about 400 EUR/Month 

I need to save more smh

$400 a month for me as well recently. Last year I spent only about $300 but prices have really exploded since the war in Ukraine. Almost everything is at least $0.50 more expensive and for some products like sunflower oil the price has more than doubled. 

[wastedpotential]

About 500 Euros per month

i don't know how much, but a lot... cause i go for all the best quality stuff at the best uk supermarkets and those cost extra

[byzantium]

I budget $240 a month.  Honestly, I am not noticing prices rise that quickly.  At least on my essentials, they are all the same price at my store that they wee 1year ago.

I have a terrible habit of shopping at Waitrose / Marks & Spencers and then eating out all the time so the food expires.. so I waste a fortune!

 

I'm trying to budget now though and eat takeaway less, so let's see how I manage.

[Champ]

$90-$110

[Oktober Knight]

When I shop alone: $100-$120 per week. 

 

When my husband shops with me: $300-$350 per week. 

[Exquisite]

£40 a week

[imabadkid]

I shop at Whole Foods so usually like $180-$200 a week
