What a fascinating question HADG. I am single, and I spend about $200. a month on food. I don't eat alot of expensive food at home, but I buy good food and alot of fresh things which cost more than if I bought canned or frozen things.

500 a month for a family of three and we don't even cook all that much. Just a bunch of quicky foods and frozen meals. I would also say we average going out to eat about 6 times a month which is about another 200 a month. I use the debit card and NO CREDIT cards!!

I have a £70 a month food and grocery budget, but I generally don't use all of it, so probably somewhere between £40 and £60, depending what time of year and what I'm doing (I spend more in winter because there's not so much fresh veg available and I end up buying frozen) Always, always, always pay cash. Credit cards are evil.

I only buy groceries for myself, and being brought up in a lower-middle class home, I've learned how to shop wisely. I can get myself by in a month on $200 at MAX for groceries, and I always make sure to use my debit card. I refuse to use a credit card for anything but large purchases, as I don't see a point in paying interest on food that's going to be consumed anyways...

I probably spend about $400 a month on groceries for 4-5 people. We eat out way too much or I would most likely spend more. I never, never, never use credit. I figure credit is for emergencies or something that I can actually hold onto but not "love handles."

We are a family of 3 and have a food budget of $500/month any time we go out for food, it comes out of that budget. We make a list before we go out and ONLY buy things on our list to avoid impulse buying. We use debit from an account with specified amounts in it each month according to our budget. Any $$ from our food budget not used at the end of the month goes into our savings or used to have take out.

Linda Joy Cut meat and prepared foods. Buy root vegetables (potato, onion, carrot) and some leafy greens. Buy oatmeal and eggs, drink water. That should be a good start.
