How much do you spend on groceries for the week?

We spend a pretty good amount on food. Back when we were first dating and poor college students, we nearly starved lol. Now that we have a little extra income, food is something that I sort of splurge on. We don't drink, smoke, or eat at super expensive restaurants, so I sort of justify it that way.

I spend about $90-$125 a week at the store for two adults, and we eat out at least five times a week, counting lunches and dinners. Usually weekends we eat out and once or twice during the week.

I pack my lunch and snacks usually 3-4 days a work week and try to minimize eating out during work. My husband eats lunch out almost every day at work; he works in construction and lunch is the only break he gets. He does pack snacks and a small breakfast, as well as making his own gatorade and water bottles up at home.

All total I'd say we spend $100 on groceries and $100 on eating out each week.

I aim for about $50/week for the two of us. I usually buy stuff for 2-3 meals a week, we'll eat the leftovers from that for a day or two after, and I try to always have fresh veggies and fruits depending on their cost. Most of the food money honestly goes towards the stuff he drinks and snacks on; I'm pretty cheap as far as that goes, since I drink almost nothing but water and try to keep my snacking to a minimum.
