Between our regular weekly store run, farmers market and our weekly SMC delivery, we run about $250/week.  But add to that:
Bulk purchase of most meat,  $1000 once or twice a year
Monthly seafood delivery, $250/month
Costco runs a few times a year, probably $300-400 each
Alcohol (not going to add this one up lol)
Target or Amazon purchases for random household items I forgot to get at the store, probably $50-100/month
Eating out ... maybe $300/month? It varies like crazy, we'll not eat out for a few weeks, we'll have one big splurge on a nice dinner, or we'll have Cava or equivalent a couple times.

I think that all comes out to something like $450/week on average???  I know we could do stuff more cheaply if we needed to. SMC, seafood, and farmers markets in particular add up.  I distinctly remember having a food budget of $80/week for two people, granted that was 20 years ago, but we could obviously cut back a lot.[/quote]
