$25 is pretty low. I spend $100 weekly. I shop at walmart and I can cut it down to $75 while still eating the foods I love. Of course this doesn't include eating out which is usually twice a week.

If I had to break it down on to a weekly basis, I'd say $50-60 a week just on groceries, not including eating out. Although I usually do grocery shopping about every 10 days, spending $70-80, so I guess it works out to be the same.

I'm a cheap frugal bastard and I'm eating healthy, so not frozen pizza or stuff like that. I guess thats what keeps the price down, its all about the veggies and fruit. that and cambells soup.

I spend about $100/wk on me and my gf, I bulk shop at BJ's for meat, bottled water, and canned goods. I only go to the food store when I need little stuff like sauce's, ice cream, spice's.

I spend about 70 bucks a week on groceries. I get a lot of those mixtures that have veggies and beef w/ terriaki sauce that you just have to toss in a pan for dinner.

I just totalled up how much my roommate and I spent on groceries since we moved in (4 months). We spent $1,449 on groceries (including some BJ's trips that had other supplies we needed) and I divided that by 16. Divided it again by two since it is split between us and it equals about $45/week. We eat healthy food, no junk. We just make sure to find the sales. For example, if skinless and boneless chicken breast goes on sale, we will buy a lot, split the packages into sets of two pieces, and freeze it. We make our own lunches with lean meats, whole grain bread, stonyfield yogurts and fruit and veggies. All in all, I would say we eat well for not that much money at all.
