We don't watch it that closely, but it seems to me that we've had Costco bills in the $450 range. Not that often, and that's every couple of months or so, and otherwise it's anything from $20 to $100 depending on what's getting topped up.

It really depends where we go.
For example if we go to Metro it is a big store and usually everything is in bulk, this is for restaurants and bakeries but we go there because we have a company and we just buy cheese and things you cant get in a supermarket.. now this store is so expensive so 10 items of things including cat food costs me nearly 100 euros. SO i dont go there unless i absolutely need to. The most ive spent here was 400 euros.

If i go to walmart, walmart is also big so we tend to buy more.. and better brands so it will cost me from 60 - 250 euros.

When we go to lidl, we have a trolley (its large) and its over bulging of food, that will cost me not even 100 euros, usually about 80 or so.
We only go there when we feel poor haha.

I would say we are somewhere in this range..... The most I ever spent on one trip was $225. It was during th eholidays and I was having the whole family over. I think I might have even made more trips than just that one.

I typically spend about $150 every 2 weeks on groceries. But the most I have spent at one time is about $260, but that was to stock up on food once we moved back here from Baltimore because we couldn't really take any of our food with us. If I remember correctly I even made a second trip to the grocery store a couple of days later and spent another $100.

In the $300s when our cupboards were bare. We usually shop twice a month (paydays) and don't spend near that much. We get what we can at Aldi's then get the rest at Price Chopper. We probably spend $125 a month on dog food, cat food and litter. I don't even want to THINK about the vet bills...just buying frontline for 5 cats and 2 dogs.......

Thats what I do on a family of 5. Eating out with teenage boys will kill ya!!!!

I'm always surprised how much I can spend, I can go as high as 120 on routine trips. Holiday trips higher. But that is all conclusive, like paper prouducts, wine, cleaners and even flowers.

Lol! For three people, I've I'd say my girlfriend's family spends around $350-400 a week. However, they all have very specific diets.

Me? I only buy groceries for myself, probably around $50 a week.

There's no place like home
We spend about $100 a week on the average.

The most we ever spent was for last summer's family reunion (37 people for 5 days). We had to make 2 trips for groceries: the first one we spent $750, and the second we spent $500. That didn't include the beer, which my husband bought and wouldn't tell me what he spent on it.
