How much do you spend on food per month?

[Anonymous]

4 of us in the house
2 kids, ages 10 and 13

Here's what we look like.
-Budget is about $800 a month on groceries, Includes about $80 in toiletries. I buy some organic- milk, yogurt, meats, veggies, fruit. I cook a lot and focus on balanced meals. DH, I, 1 kid packs lunches daily. 1 kid buys lunch 2x a week. We hardly throw out food. This budget is tight for me. I'd like to shoot more for $1000 a month. I shop at Costco, Wegmans, Trader Joe's, Aldi, Walmart and sometimes Lotte.

-$200 budget for eating out. We alternate every week for take out pizza or restaurant meal.

2 adults, 2 kids under 7. Plus a nanny who eats during the day. Probably $1000 per month, maybe more, plus daily lunches at work for each of us (maybe to talking $250 a month).

Our 6 yo (a girl) eats a lot. And we buy most if our food at whole foods.

Just me and an occasional guest. About $250 a month. I shop mostly at the commissary, cook almost everything from scratch, and I stockpile food.
