Poll- how much a week do u spend on food?

[Sugar100]

I’m single no kids so I would say about $100 a wk. and get paid every 2 wks. But that’s minus drinks and snacks. Drinks like water, soda, juice, shakes , are about $40-50 a wk. snacks maybe $30 a wk. so $180 a wk.

Under $50 a week for the two of us. We are actually spending less because of many We scratch-make potato salad, macaroni salad, (calico) bean salads, typical salad salads, our own biscuits, our own pickles and our own pork sausage. Note: Our "grocery" list does NOT include stuff such as toilet paper, dish soap, hand soap, wax paper, foil, paper napkins, etc : these consumables are budgeted under a separate category Household Operations. Dish towels, laundry baskets, etc would be under Household Durables. Yes - I split out each receipt.

You need a source of protein, otherwise your body will eat your own muscles for fuel. Hamburger, sausages, steak, whatever.

You also need a source of calcium. Milk, cheese, anchovies, whatever.

You may need vitamin supplements if you are not eating fresh fruit and veg.

Your doctor can give better advice than I can

I'm not rich but I'm also not broke. I manage my money without a monthly budget. The amount I spend on food each month varies.

[katiesmuff]

I would guess it's around $200 a week for the five of us at home.

[notadumblonde]

For five people? You must be incredible at budgeting.

[katiesmuff]

@notadumblonde I think much of it is the fact that we have little to no junk food in the house and we buy our beef and pork in bulk from a butcher shop which is good for at least 6 months. Things like eggs, bacon and some veggi's I bring home from my restaurant which also helps.

[notadumblonde]

You own a restauarant?

[katiesmuff]

@notadumblonde Yes I do! Managed it for many years when the owners retired, but didn't want to sell. Finally last year after one had passed away the other which had become very close to me gave me a very good deal if I would purchase and take it over as I had already been doing it all for years. Promised as long as my family had it we would never change the name.

Your weekly food budget seems well thought out! Exploring different cuisines and tastes is one of life's pleasures. For me, balancing the cost while indulging in delicious bites, including snacks and drinks, is essential. I once spent an incredible week in Tokyo exploring street food and unique drinks, and although it can add up, the experience was priceless. Balancing exploration and budget is the key to continuous culinary adventures. 🍜

It's not cheap here but I reckon between $100 and $150 per week. It's $2 for a litre of milk and about $3 for a loaf of bread here so that gives an indication and I am on my own. I

[Nikki1989]

Not much, maybe $25 to $30 at the very most.

[Sugar100]

One day I went through my bank account. I added up all the charges spent on food. I was a little up $1200. I said damn wtf lol

[Sugar100]

Damn A month $1200? Or per week?

I go to the market and 3 things is $40 🙁

Cup of fruit for one day $10.

Bottle of soda $5 each.

[Opinion Owner]

Per month. I love good food. I cut down a little to maybe about $800.

[NicholasRedone]

And you realised "you're spending far too little" LOL 🤭🤭🤭🙃

[itsannalee]

I live in Taiwan and spend about NT$8-12k a week for 2 people.

[DryGermanGuy]

70€-80€ a week, all included.

[Staximus]

That depends on the week and how many times I eat out

[Wiredone]

It varies. Some weeks I'll spend $200 a week. Others, under $100.

[shortster]

Before Biden it was about $100. After it has been $150.

[Kingofkings1992]

that’s hilarious. Try reversing those numbers.

[shortster]

Inflation doesn't work that way.

[Agape93]

Maybe 40 to 80 a month

[Sugar100]

How that’s possible? Food is expensive.

[Agape93]

Not when you grow or shoot the bulk of your diet. I only buy shit I need, like spices, special foods or snacks

[Razp_Sorbet]

I spend about $180 a week on groceries
