In Hawaii, Aloha Friday is the day where ya take it easy and look forward to the weekend. In bloggy land, that means keeping posts simple. So I’ll ask a simple question, you give a simple answer. For more or to link your own Aloha Friday, visit Island Life.
MY QUESTION: What is your average grocery bill for one week?
My Answer: about $175. (fam of 5, and that’s mostly ‘needed’ stuff – not a lot of junk)
I'm Sheila. In addition to raising 1 husband and 3 teens, I've founded 




About $70 if I do not need to go to BJ’s

About 100 dollars per week. I usually shop twice a month.have three family members.

We spend about $100 a week for a family of three. About once a month I go to BJs and get about $100 worth of bulk stuff: diapers, ground beef, etc.

Anywhere from 80-150 just depends what I spent the week before.

I also have a family of 5 and if we are low on everything I can spend anywhere from $150 – $200. Sometimes more sometimes less.. Everything has gone up so much over the last year that it really makes me sick to go to the store!

I wish I knew. I’ve been so bad about doing one trip – it’s a trip here and there and that adds up but I’d have to guess that our average weekly bill is about $100-150.
Jen@OurDailyBigTop’s last blog post..Friday Mix
About $100 a week which is mostly spent on fresh fruits and veggies. I rarely buy meat at the grocery store. Our food bill will be even less when my garden begins to pay out.
$150 doesn’t sound too bad with 3 teenagers in the house.

Probably around $50 a week.
Rach (Heart of Rachel)’s last blog post..Aloha Friday #71
With just me and my hubs now I’d have to say about $70 – $80. We don’t buy any junk food.

Hmm. . . I have no idea – isn’t that terrible??!! Both our kids are grown and out on their own! I go to the Commissary once a month for staples etc – usually spend close to $300, but in between I shop at local markets that I love. Guess I better try and keep track for the next few months and see how much I am actually spending??!! Thanks for the great question!
Nancy’s last blog post..Aloha Friday Means the Weekend Has Begun!
It’s anywhere from $175 to $230 twice a month. There’s only 4 of us but one is a hollow legged teen & he’s literally eating us out of house & home! lol, guess that’s what happens when you grow 2 inches in a week.
Sues2u2’s last blog post..Aloha Friday – 5 June
I actually have no idea. We all randomly go to the grocery store and to Costco and never add anything up. Maybe we should try saving receipts one month!
Around $200 to feed a family of 5 for a week.
About $100 a week for 6 of us. It used to be much more but I have learned lately to budget better and I shop at Aldi.
debbie’s last blog post..What a Wonderful World this Would Be
Probably about 125 bucks or so!
Jenni Jiggety’s last blog post..Anyone Else Need Some ALOHA?
About $150.
Anissa’s last blog post..Aloha Friday #85
We spend on the average about $100 a week.
Michelle’s last blog post..Aloha Friday – Stars that tweet.
$250!! (for the 4 of us)
That of course includes 2 sizes of diapers and formula – ugh.
m a m a j o s s’s last blog post..♫ ♪ “EIGHT SIX SEVEN…..” ♫ ♪
I think about 100 a week.. depends on how much extra we get lol.. for a family of 4.
From 30 to 40 euros and buying plenty of fruit and vegetables which are very expensive!
David LEO’s last blog post..Let’s fight against 24000 daily deaths – campaign against hunger
The dreaded grocery bill averages between $150 to $200 a week, since I’m always darting out for the essentials multiple times. It’s not cheap to feed our little army.
mrsbear’s last blog post..Come Out, Come Out, Wherever You Are
I think we run about 75-100 a week and I’m pretty frugal. =)
Hope you’re having a great weekend!
Jen’s last blog post..The most awesomeness…
Us — 3 humans, 2 dogs and a cat — about $175.00 too. Whole Foods keeps reeling us in.
Jannie Funster’s last blog post..Another chance!
I don’t count: shopping in an Indian village isn’t the same
But it’s around $20 for the two of us, and that’s everything and unreserved
Braja’s last blog post..Kindness
Phew, now I don’t feel so bad. We spend about $175-200 per week for a family of 5 (plus a great dane puppy
) I use coupons as often as I can and try to stock up on sale items. I shop the military commissary 2x a month which saves some especially on meat. I was thinking $800-1000 a month was outrageous for groceries and I was doing a terrible job, lol. I don’t feel so bad now that it seems in line with what most other moms are saying.
Thanks

I try to keep it between $75 and $100. We are a family of 7.
Rita’s last blog post..SpellQuizzer Giveaway
Probably about $75 per week.
We are a family of 5, I spend @ $150 a week but sometimes got back and spend another $20-$30, and we eat dinner out at least once a week. I admit to buying some junk food, and with kids home for summer, different kinds of lunch foods, during the school year they all take a sandwich, no one likes the food at school that much.
