I have no idea! I  have tried to keep track and do some months, but sometimes I buy more, sometimes my fiance does, sometimes we eat out more or get blue apron. My thought is its around 300 per month for the two of us.

I’m in Canada, in the prairies, so this affects our pricing. Family of three, one of whom is bottomless pit athletic 11 year old. $250-300/week. This includes all of our househild products like detergent, clenaing supplies etc because we just get it all when we shop. We bulk buy as much as possible and prep our meals in advance. I meal prep for the week so it’s pretty easy for me. We’re on the go 4-5 nights a week for dance and my daughter normally eats at the studio since she trains 12-15 hours a week, so her supper is almost always at the studio. We don’t really eat out though and we eat very healthy, and all those lean proteins and fresh produces cost lots. That doesn’t include extras like protein bars or protein powders, BCAAs or supplements. We spend a lot on focussing on getting healthy and living a cleaner lifestyle.

We spend $300-$400 a month for two of us. But I’m a picky eater in the sense that I don’t shop whatever brand is on sale. I have brands I like, and I buy them. We also buy organic, and I buy expensive meats. Essentially, I refuse to eat less quality food because of money, we will cut out of the budget somewhere else – what we put in our bodies is just too important. We shop at Costco for a lot of key items, which helps, but can skew some numbers month to month. Overall, I think we stay under $400. We’re hosting Thanksgiving this year, so our November budget has been doubled… ugh!

$500- $650 a month. 3.5 people. Ouch. Plus we eat out regularly. the big problem is that my husband and his kids refuse to eat leftovers.

I spend between $250-300 a month, for a family of 3 (2 adults and 1 toddler). We cook dinner about 5 nights a week, and it includes breakfasts & lunches for me and my daughter. My husband is a restaurant Groomsmen so typically eats lunch at work. I do most of my shopping at Aldi.

Australian $400-$500/month. I thought that was OK, but if I convert to USD doesn’t seem very impressive!

$300-$350/mo for Fiance and I. This number also includes toiletries, because I pick those up on my grocery trips as well whenever we run low. Together we drink about 2 bottles of wine per week, so I’m sure we would never go over $300/mo if this were not the case

About $700 a month (Australian). Two adults. We don’t eat out at all, and pack lunches. We sure aren’t stingy with what we buy. I am very, very fussy about freshness. I don’t freeze meat, like my vegetables in perfect condition, therefore do two to three shops a week. This makes it a lot more pricey.

I think my SO and I probably spend around $500 a month. We buy a lot of healthy food… I should probably be stricter with the grocery budget. Everyone else sounds like they are way better with theirs.
