[quote=Anonymous]$250-300/week here for a family of 4 w/ two teen boys, shopping at Giant or Harris Teeter.  Big caveat is that we buy our meat separately, that probably works out to another $50/week.

Milk 1-2 gallons (I make yogurt with 1/2 gal every 2nd or 3rd week)
Cheese, 1 block
Butter, 1 lb (not every week, but most)
Sandwich bread, 2 loaves
Deli meat, 1-1.5 lbs
Lettuce, 2 heads
Spinach, 1 bunch or clamshell
Cucumbers, 2
Bell peppers, 4
Celery, 1 head (every other week-ish)
Cherry tomatoes, 1 big clamshell
Avocados, 1-2
Carrots, 1 bag (every other week-ish)
Broccoli, 1-2 heads
Asparagus, 1 bunch
One other vegetable like brussel sprouts or zucchini
Fruit - 2-3 pears, a mango or two, maybe a pineapple or cantaloupe.  Every other week-ish a bag of small oranges or some apples.  
One container of berries
Pasta, usually 1 lb box
Canned goods - usually 2-3 cans of something, either tomatoes or beans or coconut milk
Cookies, 1-2 packages
Other snacks for lunches & after school - bagged popcorn, chips, mac n cheese, granola bars

Other staples, not every week but on rotation, usually at least a couple per week - flour, sugar, spices, oil, vinegar, mayo, peanut butter, jam, dish soap / dishwasher detergent, etc

Then usually a few specialty items for the week's menu.  This week there was a jar of salsa, tortillas, bagels, cream cheese, potatoes, and sour cream added to the normal list.[/quote]
