[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly that is what we spend. Our food costs were 37,000 last year for absolutely everything, including takeout and fairly infrequent holiday entertaining, etc. we have two young kids and our nanny whose meals we provide during the week. That’s about 700 a week all in. It’s insane. [/quote] This is honest - and likely accurate. OP, the people saying they only spend $150-$200/week on groceries are generally underestimating what they spend.[/quote] +1 Or they don’t buy organic, don’t prioritize ingredients etc in the same way. Chicken can be $5 or $15, depending on how it was farmed. They also likely meal plan to a T. We spend roughly $2000 a month for 3 adults and 2 kids, excluding takeout/restaurants which is another $1000 or so. I am certain I could cut that down by meal planning, because roughly $800 of that is one off trips to the grocery store for ingredients I “need.” [/quote]
