Weekly food bill

[Anonymous]

What is the average weekly food bill for a married family with 2 to 4 kids?

We spend about $150 a week on meal deliveries and another $300 or so on groceries. Plus probably $150 on restaurants and takeout in an average week. Yeah it’s a lot. Family of 4.

With all the uncertainty with RIFS and DoGE we’ve cut ours form about $350 per well to around $225. Buying a lot in bulk and freezing, no more organic meat, and limiting other expensive items. Some weeks were under $200 if we have a lot in the freezer

$300 a week - I have a strict budget. I do spend on higher quality proteins and meal plan to get the most out of my ingredients. By the end of the week kids are scrounging for “good” food and snacks.

$300-350 per week. We buy nice ingredients but I meal-plan and shop from a list. I also go alone to the grocery store to cut down on impulse purchases.

Around $200 a week or less. I’m not buying organic because it’s too expensive.

About $350 a week. Two teenage boys. Does not include dining out or ordering in, which we do not do very often. Maybe twice a month.

Dang. I’m single/widowed. I’m rarely under $150/week. So that’s $600+ per month for one and I am over that goal most of the time!

Do you add in your Nespresso deliveries? Does your grocery bill include paper products and cleaning products? Shampoo other bathroom items? Vitamins?

Struggling to keep it under $175 a week for one adult and one kid. We do eat different thing though. $350 easily a week if there were 4 of us.

$500/week on groceries for a family of five.

A lot with old teens, at least 350 but we don’t eat out.
