Talking with a buddy last night and his was in the 250-300 range. With dry goods in all I'd say we're at 100-120 range with eating out for dinner once a week.
Family of 4 btw

This. We budget $150 per week for our family of 4, sometimes it's more, sometimes it's less.aggie orbitalwelder said:

$250-$300 a week for family of four adults, 3 dogs, and no telling how many cats! Animals probably eat better than adults. Plus, my wife buys so many hair and skin products along with cleaning products. When it is just the boys and I shopping $150-$200 a week including junk food
My parents will visit us for just a 3 day weekend and they'll easily drop $150 at the grocery store.. then another $100 at the wine store.Belton Ag said:aggie orbitalwelder said:

I can't imagine what they're buying if they spend $250-300 every week.
Yeh this is separate. I buy this stuff in bulk and typically have it delivered from costco or amazon prime now.ATM9000 said:
but we also buy toiletries, cleaning supplies, etc at the grocery store to save trips to other stores and such.
If you're dropping $100 every 3 days at the wine store I'd say your standard of living is "Alcoholic."62strat said:My parents will visit us for just a 3 day weekend and they'll easily drop $150 at the grocery store.. then another $100 at the wine store.Belton Ag said:aggie orbitalwelder said:

It's all about standard of living. They'll get $20 worth for 2 pounds of cheese to have with wine, whereas in our budget we buy a $5 lb. block of house brand cheddar! My mom will also buy those olive oils that I don't even look at in fear of knowing the price.
You must know nothing about the price range of wine.Belton Ag said:If you're dropping $100 every 3 days at the wine store I'd say your standard of living is "Alcoholic."62strat said:My parents will visit us for just a 3 day weekend and they'll easily drop $150 at the grocery store.. then another $100 at the wine store.Belton Ag said:aggie orbitalwelder said:

Also, hah I see I put $20 for 2 lbs of cheese, sounds like they're living large huh?
That was supposed to be $50.

I guess if your wine budget is $12,000 per year, I guess it doesn't really matter how much you're spending on groceries.
No it doesn't.Keeper of The Spirits said:

Family of 2, trying to stick to $50 a week. doesn't always happen
This isn't really counting the bulk meat we buy at Costco. We stock up when things are on sale and don't have to buy much more than vegetables, drinks, and snacks most weeks.Cstrickland05 said:hbc07 said:

Dang. Do y'all eat a lot of rice, beans, and ramen?
That's my point.. I don't know how you 'can't imagine' how a family can spend $300 a week on groceries.. Buying gourmet stuff like cheeses, oils, etc, eating more expensive meat than just ground beef or chicken every night, buying $8/gal. Horizon milk instead of the $2/gal generic brand. Buying those $7 - 32oz POM juices instead of a $2 gallon of store high fructose juice..Belton Ag said:Oh I know it can get pricey.62strat said:You must know nothing about the price range of wine.Belton Ag said:If you're dropping $100 every 3 days at the wine store I'd say your standard of living is "Alcoholic."62strat said:My parents will visit us for just a 3 day weekend and they'll easily drop $150 at the grocery store.. then another $100 at the wine store.Belton Ag said:aggie orbitalwelder said:
