How much do you spend on groceries?

I kind of blew it last night because my wife sent me to Costco for some milk and some 'good stuff'. I think she wanted some pastries so I got some bear claws, and some cream cheese snails, box of chocolate, bottled water, milk, Italian Blood orange drink for a total of $43. This is going to send up my blood sugar through the roof.
45 year wedding anniversary this week so that's why I splurged.

Most definitely worth a splurge. Happy Anniversary! As my grandpa always said, that many years together without killing each other or going crazy, you must be doing something right.  He was actually a hopeless romantic, but also had an interesting sense of humor.

Marriage in my case gets better the longer I'm married.

Congratulations, 45 years is quite an achievement! 

great thread guys, thanks for the tips!

We spend 30 to 40 per week for the two of us, we eat twice a week at his parents house thoug.h

We generally stay around 60 pounds per week for the two of us and our girls. We could eat a lot cheaper with things like vegetable stew and pasta all the time, which me and my wife love, but the girls are pickier so we have to keep them happy as well.

Looking back on my UK bank account statements, my partner & I averaged £50 weekly for our at-home food. We shopped at Sainsbury, Metro Tesco, Marks & Spencers and the Dalston Farmers Market.

These were mainly ingredients for dinners, a few lunches per week and lots of fruit for breakfast & snacks.

We were both restaurant managers so we had 1-2 free meals per day, 5 days a week and free booze and coffee drinks.

We had a take-away meal or a set-menu lunch once a month on average.

Now that we're back home in Brooklyn, our weekly grocery bill is close to $150 a week {we shop at Trader Joes, Flatbush Food Co-op and Prospect Park Farmers Market.} Im not in the restaurant industry anymore, so I take lunch and a snack to work everyday and drink coffee only at home. My partner is still in the industry so he gets 1-2 free meals a day, 5 days weekly including coffee drinks. We buy booze for home drinking- average $20/weekly {good beer or $3 TJ wine} and we rarely get take-away or go out to eat- perhaps once every few months.

My UK partner finds grocery food much more expensive here. I agree with him.

I have a family of 5. Kids are 13 (girl), 9 & 9 (boys). I homeschool, so there are 4 of us home for lunch every day. My husband eats breakfast and dinner at home and he packs his lunch. We eat out maybe once or twice a month, so I make dinner pretty much all the time.  I spend anywhere from £125-150/week. This includes household items and toiletries. I spend about $125/week back in the US. Stuff is just so much more expensive here.
