What does the average four-person family spend on food in a month? In a year? How much does a two-person household spend on food? How much does your family spend? How much of this is for groceries? How much for dining out? Do you make an effort to control food spending, or do you simply buy what you feel like? Do you use coupons? Do you grow your own food? I’m not so much looking for advice, but gathering anecdotes. I’m curious about general habits.

I’m really surprised how little people spend. I’m 26 and live in Philly. I’m pretty good at making sure all my transactions are accounted for with Mint. My 6 month average for Food & Dinning (including alcohol) is $388. Really shocked how some people are able to budget so little for eating out. I took my girlfriend out to dinner last night and the total bill (including alcohol) was $60. To me that is standard. I suppose I ought to cut back but hey i’m eating good

I’m freaked out! Myself my spouse and our 6 year old are spending between $850 – 1150 per month. (including shampoo, cleansers etc.)
Tons of fruits, fresh veggies, and healthy snacks for school lunches. (cheese strings, yogurt tubes, apple sauce squishers)
Things are about to change.
