I'm headed out to Tops to do my weekly grocery shopping. It's not the shopping I hate, it's the prices. What's the most you guys have ever spent at one time?

Probably about $300, if we hadnt gone shopping in a long time, had just come back from vacation or something.
We average about $100-$150 a week on food. Wish it could be less, but I just don't want to give up good produce and fresh fish! I can't do it!
I guess I'd rather be broke and healthy than poor and un-healthy. Although I'd be okay with being loaded, healthy, and really skinny. But, alas, no luck

We spend about $100 a week for me & my roommate. He eats out for lunch every day and doesn't eat breakfast so he just eats here once a day. We mostly get prepared meals you just microwave because I don't like to cook.

This is pretty close to what we as well.

I would say $200 for a month for two people and one child half the month..
There is also interim spending between big shopping trips though..So, altogether for one month is about $300.

Kitties take up about $50-$60 a month unless I go on a spree at one time.

For one person, I'd say I come out around $150ish a month, depending on what point in the year it is...in the summer I get loads of produce from my mom's garden!

On groceries, not much over $100 at once, but on other things, well... I had a 2 month long manic episode last summer (before I found out I was bipolar) and I spent a pretty obscene amount of money during that time.

The most I ever spent at one time on groceries is about $150 I think. Usually it's around $80 for me and my husband.

I budget $400 a month for groceries, cat food and litter, household products and personal products. I usually stay within that amount.

I've spent about $300 at the grocery store. That is stocking up for a family of five, and yes it is very painful! But usually money spent at the grocery store is so much less than eating out, so I try to comfort myself that I am saving money!

For us, it is about $300 which will last almost the month, but I always seem to have to go back for more towards the end of the month...

The cupboards were bare after we returned from NY. We have the 3 boys, the cats, the dog and us to feed, etc. Restocking the shelves cost us a total of almost $750. Okay...now someone please provide CPR.

For I typical family of four, about 300 every 2 weeks. Maybe more....
Everytime I see the price
Is about the same reaction each time.

My daughter and I have to be on a strick diet. We can't have milk or any dairy and about no meats either. So basically a fruit and vegetable diet and I try to add other natural foods to it to spice it up a bit.

But... Every so often I just have to have Hot Wings
