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)

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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!
June 5th, 2009 on 1:20 pm
Around $200 to feed a family of 5 for a week.
June 5th, 2009 on 2:12 pm
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.

June 6th, 2009 on 5:34 am
From 30 to 40 euros and buying plenty of fruit and vegetables which are very expensive!

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.

I think we run about 75-100 a week and I’m pretty frugal. =)
Hope you’re having a great weekend!

Us — 3 humans, 2 dogs and a cat — about $175.00 too. Whole Foods keeps reeling us in.

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

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

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.
