What is your grocery budget? Because I like to know these things...
I'm about to head off to the grocery store to buy groceries for our family of 5 on a shoestring budget, which means I spend about $75 every two weeks, or $150 a month. And I couldn't help but wonder, what do y'all spend on your groceries every month?
Call me curious...but just once, I'd love to see how the other 5% of US Americans with some real wealth buy groceries. Sigh...just the thought of fresh fruits...all I wanted. I'm tingling, people.
So I want to know. What do you spend?

I like to cook with really good ingredients, and those can be expensive. I try to stay away from snack foods, which can be a BIG budget buster.
Thanks!

I am absolutely by NO means wealthy. LOL We have budgeted right around $500/month for groceries. (And another $200/month for having some meals from out -- we especially like to be able to go out and get something to eat as a family after Mass. Oh -- the meals from out category includes *any* food from out -- like a trip out for ice cream or like when hubby splurged and got Starbucks on his payday.)
I'm sure it would help our budget if I could manage to spend a bit less in the food department. But, I do tend to plan my menus, etc. pretty carefully, and am happy with what I plan.
Oh...I forgot to add...we are a family of five as well.
