How much to spend for food

1 person a week

Like $50-100 . Safeway has good deals on things

40$

We have a 4 yr old so we spend more than that or we'd starve.

How much should I spend for food??

It depends heavily on where you live really. I think the best way to get a sense of it is keeping careful track for a few weeks. Keep your grocery receipts (and any time you eat out/order take out) and take stock of what you spent and where you can make cuts and set your budget from there.

For our family of five we spend between $150-200 a week mostly cooking at home.

My family of six spends about 250.00 per week. We eat at home for every meal.

$50 at the most.

If you do not eat out and shop smart you can probably eat healthfully for $30-$50 per week in most parts of the country.

Takes preparation and planning.

creo que es bueno organizarse y comprar lo necesario para así ahorrarse también algo de dinero cosas que de verdad se puedan comer para no desperdiciar la comida

The best is to cook at home

I find it harder to prepare food after a long work day and soups come out good in a crockpot but my husband isn't a big fan

I know that is me all the way. I try to cook only twice at week and keep refrigerated. Maybe some rice with chicken and vegetables, some beans, salads. I try to chop things and have then ready so it doesnt take too much time

It’s harder when you have kids to feed, but buds get shopping and not eating out help anlot

Nosotros somos tres adultos y una niña y nos gastamos 200 semanales comiendo en casa

These are all great ideas, you go girl!

i still end up spending money on food no matter how much i save

I allocate $2.50 per meal. It's my son and I so my September grocery budget is $450 ( $2.50 x 3 meals x 2 people x 30 days). We usually fall under budget. I add the overage to the next month and/or treat us to a nice meal out.

I spend a lot on food because I don't cook. Since the Covid 19 pandemic I been trying to cook more. I just love eating out to much.

I'm always trying to save money on purchasing food with coupons or specials that go on.

I try not to eat out to much because of cost but also for health reasons. But it’s just me so I don’t like to cook for myself most times. So when I cook I try to cook enough to last a couple of days. And when I eat out I try to always find a coupon or a place that has some type of special going on to save money.

I'm trying to stick to $100 a month.
