Just curious, how much does the average student spend on groceries per week? Trying to decide on a good budget for feeding myself while living off campus

PS: assume a HEALTHY diet.. so not just pasta, canned foods, frozen dinners, etc. lol. how much should it cost for an average healthy balanced diet including fresh fruits, veggies, meat?

I spend between $30-40 per week.

I'd say about $20-30/week. Go to farmers market downtown if you want fresh and cheap fruits/veggies.

I get a bit of food from home, so I'm spending about $20/week. When I wasn't I spent closer to $35/week.

40-50 Dollars/week

I buy vegan fake meat (its a bit expensive) so yeah ...

what's wrong with pasta?

Nothing. Carbs are yummy and filling.

100$ a week can go a long way if you make it yourself

20-40$ depending on what's available/looking good/on sale/what I'm planning for that week.

$30 per week

$50-75/week

usually

<$20 so far but I have meat that my parents brought me so that's probably one reason why mine is low lol

Haha wow, I've been getting away with $60 per month

i spend about $20 a week but sometime when there is big sales then i may spend up $40 one week but then spend nearly nothing the next.

Also, frozen veggies are great since they never expire and they are cheap

About $75 per week, but I have lots of allergies so my "special" food can be expensive.

~$75 per week
