[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I do not see how $1300 is "normal" for this area for 3 people. I can't even fathom how one spends nearly 300 at the grocery store in a week. I only do this if I'm entertaining.[/quote]

It certainly isn't frugal or even sensible, but for two-income families where both parents are high earners, and aren't buying beans in the can and having sensible tuna fish sandwiches for lunch, I think it is not an uncommon amount to spend.

Especially if they are buying gourmet foods, imported cheeses, and of course wine and beer.   Of course it is cheaper to buy bricks of cheddar and to buy your meat in a bulk "family pack" and re package to freeze in more sensible servings.   But some people just don't do that.

$1300/month is on the high end, but I don't think it is that out of line for what well off people in this area spend at the grocery store each month.

OP, what are you spending your money on?   Do you buy generic cold cereals and bulk meats; blocks of cheese?  Cans of beans to make casseroles and your own hummus?  Big bags of frozen peas and green beans?   Potatoes in sacks of 10 pounds?[/quote]
