How much do you spend on Groceries?

[D10R3]

For OS'ers who have kids, how much per month on average are you spending on Groceries?

This does not include eating out, just items bought each month at the grocery store.

My wife and I have an infant son and are spending about $350.00 a month. This includes baby food so I think we are doing well.

Anyways, was just curious how much everyone else spends.

I went to Giant Eagle 4 times between 11/5 and 12/2 and spent a total of $158.22. It's just me though.

$350 with a kid? That's some good budgeting.

I budget about $300 for myself a month, but always go over and end up spending between $350-$400. That doesn't even include takeout. I do waste a lot of food though, as I err on the side of tossing stuff out that may be old.

Me + Wife + Six Year Old Boy = Way Too Much

I know it's because we buy quality food, mostly organics for produce, very little pre-packaged prepared goods, and as high quality meat as possible. Still, it's costly, easily between $400 - $600 per month, with the spread depending on when we need our bulk goods (paper towels, TP, ground beef, etc. from Costco).

That also does NOT include when we go out to eat, and we eat a quality champagne brunch at least once a month in addition to a few pizza nights and two or so sit down, menu driven, dinners.

Well with my family it's about 400-450 a month.

If I lived on my own I figure I could get by on about half that or even less.
