How Much Do You Spend on Groceries?
How much do you (or your spouse) spend on groceries per month per person? For example, if you spend $400.00 a month and you have 4 people in your household, the amount per month per person would be $100.00a month. Thanks for your vote!

Re: How Much Do You Spend on Groceries?
Due to special diet restrictions--and 5 people in the house-- Groceries cost a fortune each month. Would you believe that groceries cost us twice as much as our house payment each month? (I'm not joking!)

With special diet restrictions, that would make a big difference! Also, some who spend less on groceries spend more on eating out, so it's a hard question to answer and figure out what the average is.

You're a man. Nuff said.
I spend around $75 per person. I budget $120 per week, but don't always spend that much. 6 people in the household.

Re: How Much Do You Spend on Groceries?
I just checked my figures in Quicken.
For the first 3 months this year we spent $2483.11 total for groceries.
This averages out to $797 per month and is 14.09 percent of our expenditures.
In 2008 we spent $9,742.02 which averages out to $811.83 per month for groceries.
So, for the last 15 months we average spending about $800 per month for groceries for two people plus whatever guests may eat with us from time to time.
Included in groceries are cleaning supplies and anything else we purchase in our trips to a store to buy groceries. Also included in the groceries category is coffee purchased at Starbucks for brewing at home. Any brewed coffee and snacks purchased at Starbucks would be in the category of "dining" like anything we would eat at a restaurant.

yeah me too.
Even at that $100.00 a month per person is very conservative, unlike all you liberal crazies on here.

Re: How Much Do You Spend on Groceries?
I would say $500 a month - family of five, but my three girls eat less than adults. I voted $100

Re: How Much Do You Spend on Groceries?
Yeah, we eat out about 5 - 10 times a month too.
