Well, I try not to think about it. I buy in bulk, and use what I need when I need it. All told, I spend about $170 a week at the grocery, but that covers all meals, plus non-edibles such as shampoo and toilet paper.

cdziuba said...

It costs me about $150 for our emptied nest (almost) family of 3 for one week. cdziuba@aol.com

rosannepm said...

I probably spend about $70 for dinner which is getting harder to do with the price of groceries. A Save A Lot GC is a good giveaway. Very practical

Toni said...

I would love to win this! We do not have a Save-A-Lot right near us but I try to shop there when I am visiting my family, which we do quite often!

I can feed us pretty cheaply if I try. However, I am bad about buying stuff we don't really need when I am at the grocery. Another great reason to shop at SAL!!!

Thanks for contest!

It probably costs me close to about $60 I think for a weeks worth of dinner. Family of four to feed!

I don't know for sure because we don't have a strict grocery budget, but we do shop very frugally. For our family of 5, we probably spend between $5 and $8 per dinner, so for a week that would be $25 to $40 spent on making dinners.

Tanya said...

I spend about $150 a week for our family of four (soon to be five), but that also includes diapers, shampoo, pet food, etc. I love Save-A-Lot, Aldi, and anywhere else I can save a buck!!!!

We pay between $100 & $125 per week for groceries here in NY. Save a Lot is actually a great store, they are much cheaper to buy from than a regular grocery store.

The Deal Lady said...

I usually don't calculate my cost per meal, but I think for dinners I spend less than $35 a week on average. Not counting the occasional eat out night.

CrystalGB said...

Between $50-60 a week.
I shop at Save A Lot all time. Thanks for the giveaway. It would be wonderful to win. :)

rettingc said...

I shop once a month 300.00 for a family of 4. I shop at the dollar store, walmart, local grocery store, and warehouse club. All are rather close. Make a list and plan meals ahead, use coupons, and look a the adds to see what on sale. I plan meals ahead of time.

Jenn said...

We spend about $70 for a week's worth of dinner. My husband is a diabetic, so that's a high protein and veggie diet for you!

Just moved to a town that has a Save A Lot. I love it! I spend about $30-40 per week for 2. I want to get this down even farther. Getting things stocked up again takes a little bit more of the budget.

We run about $150 a week for a family of 4..however, there is ALWAYS @ least one extra person here every night...if not more than one...we have a lot of extended family living nearby & dinner time seems to be there fave time to stop by! lol Which is fine by me..but as prices increase it becomes more of a challenge for me!

morgan said...

I spend about $50 aweek for all meals. We are a family of four. I use LOTS of coupons, buy on sale, and stock up when I can. I do also try to get a food box once a week to help out.

Jen said...

Hard to know for sure, but around $25-50 per week - for a family of 7. I'm pretty sure the only way we're doing that is because my Mom is a super deal getter and gives us bags and bags of groceries all the time! What a gift she is to us :-)

Rachel said...

We try to stick with $35 a week for two people. I only recently started calculating cost of meal per person. The other night I made chicken noodle soup from scratch, grand total per person: $.48! I will never buy canned soup again!
We just recently discovered the Save A Lot near us!

Well, our budget is $50/week at the commissary, but I've been able to stay under that. And since it's our commissary budget, a lot of non-food items make it on there too. I also tend to stockpile, so I'm going to say that on average, we probably spend $25 a week on food.

With a fully stocked deep freeze and pantry, my grocery bill varies from week to week. Some weeks I buy only perishables, some weeks I stock up.

I spend from $100-$125 a week. It used to be anywhere from $50-$75, but with the rising prices, it's gone up. We have a family of 7 (4 of them are boys 10-19!) so it's hard to keep the costs down. We also do a lot of gardening to help. We love Save-A-Lot!
