I tend to spend $200-250 per month on groceries. I am making more of an effort to eat dinner at home more except for maybe once on the weekends. There are also certain items that I tend to buy that are more expensive, e.g. Quest pizza brand (low carb) for $8.99 vs. a cheaper brand that could be $3.99.

I'd say $60/week but I'm also a bargain shopper...Aldi and Trader Joe's are my favorite places to shop. Things will be more expensive if you buy organic. I've also found that wholesale clubs can be much cheaper but it tosses the whole budget idea right out the window because it's such a big upfront expense.

I have budgeted $140/week for "food" - this is for groceries & eating out combined. I generally plan my meals/days eating out for the work week on Saturday and shop on Sunday to pick up everything I need at once. The weekends tend to be a bit less structured.

About $100 a week (and then more for meals out).

When I'm actually following my clean eating plans, it can cost anywhere from $100 to $150. This provides enough food to prep three meals and two snacks a day for about a week. When I meal prep it not only allows for portion control and convenience, but it keeps me from grabbing food at a restaurant (which usually isn't as healthy and costs about twice as much!)

I am in between $50 - $60 a week. Depends on healthy I am and how well I am stretching my leftovers.

I consistently spend around $200 a month for groceries, though you should take into account that I am starting off with a well-stocked pantry + fridge! On top of that, I usually go out for 1 meal per week, coffee 3 times per week (for meetings, work sessions, etc), and happy hour once a week.
