Hmm... I spend about the same for 3 people. Actually maybe 350 b/c constantly purchasing milk throughout the week. But I usually purchase my meats at a butcher, where you get more for the money. I don't think its too much. B/c you constantly have to buy ingredients and so forth to have good food at home. I prefer food home then outside. But also prefer havign a break so once a week we dine out. LOL...

Also that idea with butcher is really good, when it is close to you.I don't know about any butcher shop in my city.the closes one is 30 miles and I would spend probably more for the gas.

We spend around 50.00 per week on groceries. That includes paper products also. With picking up milk and bread as needed I'd say we spend around 250.00 to 300.00 a month. That is for a family of three. We do most of our shopping at Aldis a discount grocery store.

It depend probably on the state too.I am now in Maryland and I never see so expensive fruit and vegetable.And that is tho most what I am shopping , plus meat.Also I hear it was bad year this year, while they it wasn't much rain, maybe the prices up on that too.

In India the cost of living is quite low and so also the earning compared to the west. The prices are comparatively cheaper than in other countries, even when equated to high standards. Therefore, an ordinary family of upper middle class can live happily with $100 to $150 and another $100 to $150 towards the house rent. If one excludes the cost of meat and other non-veg items, one can easily manage grocveries (vegetarian food) well within $100 for a family of 3.

That's sounds like not much, but again the prices are much more different and also wages are smaller though.

Yes Laurika; Now a day the price of goods are more expensive and income without extensive. So more or less just around your given figure for groceries expenses. Looking for OFFER SALES some time. About yours for 2, I think more than enough. But not to say too much.
