I also buy quinoa, rice, pasta, etc out of the bulk bins at our local Whole Foods or similar store - I do think that's cheaper. Also buy some canned veggies, in particular green beans and spinach, by the case at Costco and other canned beans at Trader Joes which is cheapest. | |

| Let's see. For a family of 4 we spend $100-$200 a week. It's rare that we spend $200, but every once in a while my little brother likes to try new recipes and that's when things get pricey. I also think he's wasteful. He'll ask for stuff and toss it out when he no longer needs it, but will ask for the same in a week or two. He's in college, and I'm trying to show him to be more careful. Our total costs would go down to $75 a week if it wasn't for my dad. He buys a lot of organic produce at trader joe's and whole foods, and always has to have fruit that's out of season. At least with my dad, eerythin gets eaten. He's very particular of his diet since his epilepsy medicine works best when he rest of his system is healthy, and it helps his liver from being overwhelmed with all the medication. We also buy chicken in bulk at Costco. We eat a lot of chicken breast. Here is also no chips, soda, juice, candy, or any kind of frozen pre-made food. My mom just simply doesn't allow it.

| No Super Targets at all?! Most of our regular Targets have been renovated into Supers over the past few years. Crazy!

| Not exactly groceries, but my weekly food bill is about $200-$250 a week for just me...and it's mainly from eating out. What I spend has actually gone UP since my two kids went away to college . It just doesn't seem worth it to buy groceries & cook. I end up throwing so much stuff out because it expires before it all gets used. I never go through a loaf of bread before its bad or a dozen eggs, or a gallon of milk...yet a gallon is usually cheaper to buy than a half gallon, so I use what I need & pour the rest down the sink. It's such a waste! I find it alot easier to go out to eat or get take out that I can split between meals.
