How much do you spend on groceries each week?

Just out of curiosity, how much $$ worth of food do you eat each week? I feel like I'm spending way too much on groceries so I want to see if I am about average or not!

Well I live in northern Alberta in a city which only exists because of the oil and gas industry, and where the average person makes about $150,000+/year (I most certainly do not however). So the price of everything is inflated. Not to mention 6% federal sales tax on everything...good ol' Canadians.

Ouch! I'd be dead by now for sure. :P

I spend about $125 a week for me, my husband and our 2 year old. Tonnes of fruits and veggies, and I clip coupons! I don't know how some of you spend so little! We shop at Shaw's, I don't know if that's a big chain I just moved here from Canada.

whole foods is so expensive, I wish I could shop there! sometimes I go just to make my own almond butter, love those nut butter machines.

We used to spend about 75-80/week on groceries, but since I am trying to buy healthier things, we are spending about 125/week.

How are some of you guys just shopping twice a month? Most of my veggies and fruits dont last two weeks (not that we eat them all....I mean they go bad)!! 

I shop multiple times a week, and I keep groceries in those green bags that they sell on TV (and in stores), this way they stay fresh longer.

We spend about 100-120 when we go, but we go to the store every other week.

I spend about $80/month and $25/week so approximately $45/week.

Kind of expensive for just one person, but cheaper than spending money on fast food and a million times better for me.

Do those work?

 I'm one of those twice a month shoppers (I HATE shopping so I only go on pay days). I get some fresh fruits & veggies..they usually last a week..then the second week it's canned or frozen. I know it's not the healthiest but it saves me from running to the store. As for milk I get the furthest expiration date possible. And the wheat bread I get usually lasts for weeks.

There is no GST on regular grocery items, junk food aside.
