Trying to gauge if my grocery budget is unreasonably tight now that I'm home during the week. Can you ladies help me baseline? How much do you spend per how many people? We are a family of three in NJ- two adults and one toddler and are consistently coming over budget

I think we spend average about 150 per week for 2 people and an infant but we also do takeout about 3x a week

My grocery bill comes out to be about $300 every time we go shopping which is usually every 2 weeks. For just the 2 of us. Food just adds up. Not even counting the take out we do during the week

4 kids and 3 adults we do about 1k for Costco (1-1.5 month supply) and another like 300 from HT or Wegmans for the month. We spend about 300 on meat and make it last about 3 months

2 adults in DC, all organic and healthy, $150 a week

2 adults, 2 toddlers, NJ, probably $200/week plus takeout or something like blue apron most weeks too.

150/ week (2 adults + toddler). We get take out maybe once a month? I also spend ~300 at Costco per month (a mix of food & household items). We go to a specialty butcher twice a month to get a special cut of meat or fish. Idk, food is expensive.

We do anywhere from $100-200 per week for 2 adults (depending on if we need to stock up on basics or are making something that requires specialty ingredients), plus $50-$100 for takeout once or twice a week. This does not include wine and beer.

$200-300 per week w 2 adults, toddler, and infant (I make baby food and do blw). I have to make breakfast, lunch, and dinner for all. About every 2 months we do Costco and I buy things like frozen chicken, etc. We meal plan dinner for the week, that helps to keep things on track. Probably do takeout or go out once every other week.

Between Costco every 2-3 weeks and weekly supermarket comes to about 350/ week for two adults, toddler and baby. We cook almost everything at home

(Upper East Side, NYC) We realized the same thing and tracked everything last month. We are two adults and two toddlers and are spending $1400 a month between groceries and eating out. It’s a mix of Amazon Fresh, 2 local grocery stores, Diners, Donuts, and Papa John’s. We had been budgeting $1200 so that $200 was throwing off our monthly budget.

I live in the Midwest, 2 adults + 1 toddler. I spend about $120-150/week on groceries, using mostly Amazon delivery. Once every 6-8 weeks I end up having a $200 order as we run out of staples. We get carry out once a week at most.

We spend about $800-900 a month for two adults and a toddler. Right now that number excludes alcohol, but definitely includes diapers, etc. Rarely do takeout, maybe once a month right now.
