For those of you who spend $60. a week or less, how much of that is spent on fresh fuits and vegetables rather than on processed foods?

When this is mentioned this this include diapers, paper products, or formula??

I spend 50 a week about $15-$20 produce, $10 on Dairy, $15-$20 on other stuff like bread, sauces, pasta, snacks, etc.

I spent $200 once a month at costco, Diapers, meats, paper products, pet food, toiletries, cleaning products and if there is left over in the budget I stock up on a few other things.

My budget is more like $75 a week for our family of 5. I can sometimes stay under that, but it does not include paper products, diapers, pet food or any cleaning products. I usually spend about $15-20 on produce, $10-15 on dairy and eggs (sometimes more, but it doesn't include milk, which is delivered), $15 on meat and $25-$35 on canned tomatoes and beans, frozen veggies, bread, pasta and some other stuff. If I plan on a lot of homemade meals, and make my bread, I can keep my budget under the $75. But, like I said above, it doesn't include milk, which we spend about $75 a month on, by itself. That's only 3.5 gallons a week for 3 kids under 5. We're thinking of starting to mix our milk 1/2 and 1/2 with powdered milk, which will bring down the cost.
