How much do you spend on groceries a week?

[DanielParul 50]

We spend about $200 a week (when I take Daniel to the store empty stomach) and about $100-$120 (when i make sure he eats first)

[Marilyn. 340]

yeah it is always best to go to the grocery store with a full stomach ...lol

I spent 100 bucks at the store today and I only went in for a few things.. but a bunch of stuff I usually buy was on sale so I bought them and sometimes more then one etc...

[Sprailenes 47]

Usually around 120.00 dollars, I make a menu each week so I know what I need, plus I don't need to think about what to make when I arrive home from work.

[Marilyn. 340]

yeah I need to start making a menu ..

right now I just buy a bunch of stuff and hope I can come up with some meals out of it ...lol

So I spent $77 at the grocery store today and had two bags and a case of bottled water...I think I'm doing something way different than some of you people

Yeah, you could save yourself hundreds of dollars or more every year just by getting yourself a Brita filter jug rather than bottled water. Its just filtered tap water anyway.

Not if you buy spring water, such as Ozarka. It's about 17 cents a bottle (by the case), can be stored in the frig and thus, is cold and ready to go. This actually helps us drink the suggested 2-3 litres of water per day.

From the "green" perspective, the bottles are really thin and are made of the premium recyclable variety of plastics.

I have wanted to buy a Brita filter pitcher for awhile and we finally did awhile back... glad I don't have to haul home those big flats of water bottles anymore

[MrsCat 6]

We go to Costco once a month and spend $300-400. That usually gets us all we need for the coming month. We spend another $50 or so on fresh fruit and vegetables at the farmers market each month. That's about it on the grocery end of things.

I have no clue how much we spend on eating out. Probably way more than I'd like to calculate.

I just found these packages of Miso soup that I absolutely love at Costco. Just add warm water and presto you've got yummy miso soup.

avoid the "drinking water" from ozarka. if you read the label on it, it's from the ft worth municiple water supply

we get the spring water, which is actually a blend from several springs.

We're still doing that. Bought a Brita pitcher at Costco once and the water tasted awful compared to the water we get from the machines outside the supermarkets.

the water from the Brita tastes fine to me and I am very picky about how my water tastes

Maybe it's our tap water. I don't know how anyone could drink it straight. LA is suppose to have pretty good tap water compared to Orange County.

They have a municipal water product?

The variety we buy is sourced from three different natural springs in Wood County, Texas.

oh yeah water straight from the tap here is gross but I think it tastes fine after I run it through the Brita filter...
