Groceries: How Much Do You Spend?

[Pepperth]

I saw an old thread out there from 2010, and was curious how much people spend on groceries per week now that its 2015? How many kids do you feed? I've been working my budget tonight (both for my daycare and my family) and this seems like a good way to procrastinate on that. ::

I spend about $200 / week - including cleaning supplies and paper goods - for my family of 6 and 6 daycare kids. I shop with a menu for all meals and snacks. We generally 'clean eat'. I'm a little looser with the daycare kids but I don't feed them junk or packaged food.

About $150 a week on food, paper, cleaning supplies. Family of 3 and 5-8 daycare kids.

I really don't spend that much on food, I spend way more on cleaning supply, wipes, diaper creams etc

I cook pasta and rice in several different ways, so that the kids have always good meals, without costing me a fortune, and I don't serve meats for proteins every day, I serve beans and eggs etc

Where do you shop? Mine is about $2400-2600 a month. That's 14 dcks every day and 5 in my family. This does include my families vitamins too or protein shakes.

12 - 14 DCK, grocery food only: $300 - $450/month.
I shop totally separate with separate fridge for my family.
We cook mainly from scratch, clean foods.

This is only for the daycare. I have separate fridges and pantry shelves for family and daycare foods. I shop at winco and then get produce from sprouts.

I mostly shop at our farmers market.

I don't have either of those stores where I live. Never heard of them, but they sound like they are good

We have a nob hill and one Safeway. I like nob hill but their prices on organic is much higher than my farmer market.

Before I moved I had my own garden but with this drought I don't think I'll ever get to replant it anytime soon.

$200-$225 a week including non food supplies. Our household is 3 adults, 2 kids, and 5-7 DCKs.

Holy cow! How do you guys do it?! I spend about $400 every 2 weeks for 3 kids and 2 adults!!!!

[Kimskiddos]

I spent $200 about every 10 days for all supplies (can't make myself go to the grocery store any more often, ). That is for 2 adults and 5 kiddos. I also shop as clean as possible and really limit the processed stuff.
