How much do you spend on food each month?

[Ginger's Mom]

I can feed the cat and myself for less than $30 a week and the cat gets more than half of that. Does not include litter or the occasional block of chocolate (for me). I don't eat meat so I guess I'd save a fair bit there, I also don't eat out.

I am moving to Australia. I spend about $360.00 a month on food and toiletries (that includes "eating out" at a fast food place about once every three weeks or so). And spend an additonal $70.00 a month on food, treats, chewies, toys and pick-up bags for the dog.

Hmmm....I spend roughly 200$ a week on groceries. But that is no Including pet food, supplies, or vet bills. But with two growing boys, a constantly hungry hubby, we barely make do on that!!

maybe $300-$400 including dog and critter food. thats combined for me my mom, 6 dogs, 2 guinea pigs, 1 rabbit, 6 gerbils, 1 snake, 1 bird.. we could never afford some of the amounts I am seeing here.

Hmm i am still amongst one of the highest spenders on grocery items it appears, i say good on you if you can eat well,and healthy for less, well done, you know we live on one income and it is not considered a high income at all, we do have a low mortgage though,well by NZ standards at only 354 dollars a month, so that helps heaps.
