[quote=Anonymous]We get all of our organic produce and meat from a farm share for about $52/week and it's more than enough to feed us and a toddler. I don't even take the full allotment each week. If we take on an pair or have an extra house guest staying for the week, I can pick up more and still be within our alloted quota, so that stays at $52 - includes monthly meat, weekly produce, and eggs.

We get our dairy, any out of season fruits, dried fruits (for toddler snacking), plus the occasional pack of granola bars or something at a grocery store for about $30-50/week.

So our weekly "grocery" bill is actually quite low but cooking from scratch with vegetables that are fresh out of the ground can be really time consuming so we also order in or eat out twice a week. DH & I grab breakfast at work if we slept in too late to eat at home. Those little things + coffee really add up and make our overall food budget anywhere from $700-1000/month. We could definitely cut back if we were more organized, cooked on the weekend, or at least pre-chopped things on the weekend so it would be quicker to cook on weeknights. [/quote]
