Does anybody know the statistics about how much it costs for groceries for 1 person, 2people,etc, for a month?

Question

I live in the south. I was wondering about food from the grocery stores in general, just a mix of brand name, store brand, meats, produce, etc. Some people say it costs about as much for one person to eat as it does for two, I guess because you still have to buy a whole can of something anyway, and if you buy milk, maybe it ruins before one person can consume it all. I don't know, I'm just guessing about the reason they say that. I'm sure it is somewhat less for one person than two.

This is not including household goods, and bathroom items, like laundry detergent, toilet paper, etc. , although I would like to know that, too. Just everything on average, no scrimping, but no caviar and champagne either.

mostly talking about simple foods.

Please let me know if you are just guessing or if you have figured it up before, or if you got your information from a survey report or anything

Answer 1

well I spend on an average about $300.00 for me and my boys, but it also depends on where you live.

Answer 2

I spend about $100 a week but I live in a small town with a super wal-mart. Sometimes more, sometimes less. $200 a week if you include the non-food items. This is for two people.

Answer 3

It depends on how much you eat out, Where you live ect. However $200 per person is approx

Answer 4

That would all depend on where you live and what you eat--do you eat a lot of boxed, frozen or prepared foods. Or do you cook more from scratch. Do you eat simple foods or more on the gourmet side?

Answer 5
