Today I went to the places that are usually cheap and that I do not shop and use coupons.
Pic n save usually has excellent meats and always a good sale on something. Today it was Hamburger and Chicken breast. The hamburger was $2.79 per pound for 80/20 and the chicken breast were on sale for .99 per pound! I also got him a couple chuck steaks. Tony got hot dog buns and hamburger buns, I know he is playing rich man again!
Aldi for Veggies. I spent $26 there and it was ALL veggies and fruits except a pack of Ham lunch meat and cheese, cereal for Tony. me A pack of crunch taco shells.
I got a watermelon, 4 packs of baby carrots, huge bell peppers, 3 pack ( mine are already cut up and Tony wanted stuffed peppers) 4 pounds of huge red delicious Apples, lemons, 4 pounds of red seedless grapes and bananas.
I refilled the fridge for around $60 and that should last the two of us for a week or more on fruits and raw veggies.
How much do you spend a week on groceries?

@andriaperry we don't add the trips up. Just get what we want and need when we go.

@Courtlynn Oh okay, I guess since I have to budget money is why I keep up with how much I spend on food per week, or month.

@AmbiePam I think a lot of it comes from the fridge is not held open a long time so the temp stays up, no children "looking" in the fridge here.

@andriaperry I live alone. I spend around 5 to 10dollars in food daily, plus the bills and other groceries for cleanings and the like.

We spend around $50-60 per week on groceries, but we don't get many fresh fruits or veggies, as that would bring the cost up much higher.

@andriaperry Two people here. Most of our food comes from the produce section so its probably a bit high but we must have decent fruits and vegies.

I would guess that our grocery bill averages out to around $80 to $90 a week, for the four of us. Sometimes less if there are good sales.

I would say it varies with the week, and how much cash I have available for groceries. I don't tend to use too many coupons though because most are for buy 3 items and get one free or buy two items and save a dollar. I don't have the upfront cash to shop that way,,nor will I use a lot of those items. Lately, I have been trying to find coupons for my Ibotta purchases.

Too much, however, I grow a lot of my vegetables during the summer so that is a saving

Oh me too! I usually home can as many of them as I can for the winter, so those I wont buy either.

Right now not much. My BF is away working on another island so my food bill is rather cheap. Plus for all our veggies I have an organic garden and just pick what I want. So I guess I would spend maybe 20 bucks or so on myself. I usually go to one market and spend around 60 to 70 dollars and this lasts me a month when he is gone. Now ask me again when he gets back. This is a completely different answer.

@andriaperryIt is the best. I am not one to buy veggies in the store because they grow them with too much crap and yuo can taste them in the food you eat.
