how much do you normally spend on groceries for your family?

Question

I usually spend about $140 for three people, and that only lasts us about a week or so.

Answer 1

200 to 300 a month for a family of 4. That includes toilet paper, laundry soap, and stuff like that. It also depends on where you live...food in NY is more costly than like food in Texas. Of course I buy off brands sometime, use coupons, and buy whats on sale.

Answer 2

I spend about $170 a week for 3 people also buy in bulk, shop the sales, have a dog which I cook up his food ($20 wk), make a lot of food from scrap eg., biscuits, bread, and I always buy meat etc in bulk.

It will depend on where u live too. I find most expensive item for me is fresh fruit and vegs. It dosen't look good for the future either I live in QLD,Australia and we have been told beacuse of the drought we will be looking at a 300% mark up on fruit, veg and meat. I don't know how most Aussie will afford these items. Already I have put a veg patch in and am planting some fruit trees.

Answer 3

Well, we (2 adults, late 20's) usually go MAJOR grocery shopping once a month, which is soooooo not enough, and usually spend around $200+, with stopping for nicessities occasionally on the way home from work, you know, like for milk, bread & eggs.

Answer 4

I would spend about $150.00/week to $200.00/week / person depending on time of the year, location in the united states and sales or kind of grocery store I shop in.Also if the family member is a child or not or active in sports or not or just on a diet or not. Since diet food costs more. Baby food cost more. It cheaper to shop in North Carolina than California.A very active person has a tendency to eat more than the elderly. Junk food cost more than chicken. So on and so forth.

Answer 5

$100-$200 for 5 people that lasts us about 1-3 weeks

Answer 6

We have 2 adults and 2 children. We spend around $200 per pay check at the store. Sometimes a little less. We try to go to cheaper stores that stil have some name brand stuff though (it saves alot of money too)

Answer 7

I can easily spend over $200 a week for my family of six. I find if I am able to bake more and cook from scratch it will save a little money but occupy a lot of time so paying for convenience is sometimes worth it.

Answer 8

First of all what state? I can stretch 140$ For a whole month with me and my 2 kids.

Answer 9

200 to 300 a month for a family of 4. That includes the extras like laundry soap, paper towels, diapers, etc. I use a lot of coupons, buy generic, and buy whats on sale.

Answer 10

$250 a week for 2 adults and 2 children. That includes bathroom and laundry stuff but no meat.
