Usually around 30 a week, Could probably cut it down if I left out some cookies and chips, but not by much. I try to get a fair amount of veggies, and I get my bread from home so that doesn't factor in. It would be more when I buy stuff like chicken or other meats, obviously. But for the most part its around 30 a week.

In the last two months, I've spent a total of $45.01 on groceries, but I've had a -lot- of food assistance from my parents - I've gone back to visit every 3 weeks at least.
For the meals I'm making myself, I'm probably spending the equivalent of $20/week.

$20 is low, congrats on conserving your spending! I unfortunately eat out a lot, so my eating out bills are definitely higher than they should be :(

I go twice a week and spend 30 dollars each time, but it is more expensive for me because i buy organic and gluten free foods. I would avoid going to metro and instead go to fortinos, its cheaper and just inside the doors they have a big variety of coupons you can use.

My friend spends about $25-35 a week, without any food from home.
Buy whatevers on sale and plan your meals that way

I try to not go over $50 but I buy the occasional pizza because I'm too lazy to cook so I'd say about $75.

if you buy a lot of frozen food, it helps cut down on weekly cost, I find
so maybe like $70-100 one week...but then I don't spend much for another 2-3 weeks

$50-$100/week typically, but lately it's been closer to $200/week as I've been bulking up.
Goodbye 6% body fat percentage. :(
Yes this is on the pricey end, but I eat super healthy and make nearly everything myself. I'm a total health nerd, and plan to live extravagantly well forever.

Where do you guys go for cheap groceries?
I'm thinking of investing in a Ford Econoline rape van to drive out and buy cheap stuff in bulk.
Uh, disregard the demotivational poster around it.

Usually once a month it's around $100, going to Costco and getting bigger things and then it's around $50 a week!
