Went to the store last night and ended up spending $101 and some change on groceries for two weeks.
We have a family of 4. Myself, DH, and our 2 yr old daughters. And live in Iowa.

Dh though that was an awful lot. I was pretty proud of myself.

How much do you all spend?

I think that's really good! Be proud of yourself!

We spend about $100-$150 every 2 weeks. Some weeks a little less, but hardly ever more than that.

Maybe $150 every 2 weeks if you count all the trips for milk and bread (and sometimes pop) inbetween. We have between 7 and 9 people in our house depending.

I spent $110.02 this week on grocercies though I did pick up $5.38 worth of veggies yesterday and will need to buy probably about $8.00 worth of milk. So $123.40 for the six of us, three in my family plus the three teenage boys that are with us right now. I'll have to figure things out when the boys leave next month! They do eat a lot.

I usually spend about 30-40 per week. I don't always need to go though. I didn't go at all last week. It depends on how much fresh fruit and veggies u buy. I spend more on these durng the summer, but I get them from farmers market.
I think it is a good number.
