How Much Do You Spend on Groceries?
 
How much do you (or your spouse) spend on groceries per month per person? For example, if you spend $400.00 a month and you have 4 people in your household, the amount per month per person would be $100.00a month. Thanks for your vote!

Due to special diet restrictions--and 5 people in the house-- Groceries cost a fortune each month. Would you believe that groceries cost us twice as much as our house payment each month? (I'm not joking!)

With special diet restrictions, that would make a big difference! Also, some who spend less on groceries spend more on eating out, so it's a hard question to answer and figure out what the average is.

I would say $500 a month - family of five, but my three girls eat less than adults. I voted $100

Yeah, we eat out about 5 - 10 times a month too.

We eat out probably 2-3 times a month. If our kids come with it gets pricey, but my husband and I usually spend less than $15.00 including tip for the two of us. I have a great coupon book with tons of buy one get ones! :D

I figure we spend another $500 average on eating out.

You're a man. Nuff said.

I spend around $75 per person. I budget $120 per week, but don't always spend that much. 6 people in the household.
