single people, whats your groccery bill a month?

[v8venomgt]

for the most part, i prepare all of my own meals over the course of the week since ive been trying to save money since november. if something social comes up, that changes things, but im pretty sure that my *out to eat/entertainment* expenditures is less than $80 a month these days. that said, my revolving expense of grocceries is about $400 a month not including the occasional out to eat. is this a high figure?

i know the cost of grocerries is different from region to region, but im not sure if im about average, or high. i buy a lot of vegetables, enough meat to get through a week, and maybe 1-2 frozen entrees. im not really buying lunch meat, i dont drink soda, and rarely buy beer/alcohol. that said, im not about to start a diet of pb&j with ramen lol. i figure about $100 a week on grocceries isnt terrible, but i dont really have anything to compare it to either:shrug:

Not single but me and the wife go through $400-$500 per month if you include eating out, no ramen or pbj here..:shrug:

I'm single but I have two kids that live with me so most of my bill go towards them (snacks, meals & juices). I probably do around 300-400 a month. If it was just me it would probably be no more than 200$. I could live off canned food and noodles/rice.

About $400 a month, married here. I would say you're overspending. $50 a week should be enough for you I would think.

I'm not single but she doesn't live with me, I spend around $50-60 a week but I have 75 pound dog that eats a bunch. Lol. Dog food is expensive and he loves the $5 dingo bones.

Damn when I was single I was spending about $125-150 on groceries. I'd buy chicken strips, chicken patties, stuff for hot dogs, burgers, spaghetti, all kinds of stuff I could prepare myself but would last a while.

Now that I'm married we spend about $400.

 

[Stanger00]

When I lived alone the max would be 60-70 if I ha to replenish body wash, hair products, tooth paste or cleaning supplies. Typical weekly expense is 50ish.

I live with my GF and her teenage son. We just spent 175 for 10 days of dinner plans and lunch for 5 days plus snacks for me and the kid. We also had $96 worth of coupons. Obviously, I didn't plan the shopping. No steaks were purchased.

That processed shit is terrible for you. Hopefully the wife has you eating better.

[VirtualSVT]

When I'm actually home to cook I used to spend about 50-75 a week.

You mean you don't think I'm sexy? lol

Seriously though, she has spoiled me rotten.

Wtf.....

I spend $800 per month on groceries for two people.

But I don't eat out for any meals except if I go out on a Saturday and I'm forced to buy organic items and no cheap processed foods by the girlfriend.

For those of you spending $50 per week you must be eating out too which would definitely make that $50 go up if you really looked at your true TOTAL monthly food/drink expenditures. I spend zero dollars on food except at the grocery store and that includes paper towels, toilet paper, paper plates, etc as well.

I feel good about eating quality food but damn now I realize how expensive it is. I wish I could get away with just $200 per month....but that's what I spend a week.

 

[Layingrubber]

$75-100 a week..eating like a king

 

[AZSnake98]

I pretty much eat chicken breast, vegetables, apples, unsalted nuts, a lot of eggs, oatmeal, and whole wheat bread. And I drink water or skim milk.

My groceries are like 150 a month tops including dog food. Lol.

If you count vitamins and supplements, a little more, but not much.

 

[ctubbs]

I'm single, and I can eat out cheaper than cooking at home. Most of the food I buy at the store goes bad before I can eat it all. To me that's just wasting money. Plus eating out means less dishes to do.

 

[jymboslice]

I spend like $600 on food. I'm single and I eat really healthy. Healthy food drains your wallet

I eat the same and spend 400-550 a month :dw:

 

[Real2000CobraR]

Bout .80 cents I'm an extreme couponer. Lol jk $125 a month when I was single. Basically water, rice, chicken and spaghetti.

 

[Mustang71]

$200 a week. (5 people in household)

If I had to only buy food for myself it would probably be like $50 a week at most
