I am always surprised at how little people spend on food. As a family of four with two babies under 3, we spend about $300/week or $1200 a month on groceries.
Granted, I eat a lot of meat, but it’s cheap meat like ground beef from the supermarket. 2.99 per pound stuff. We don’t snack that much, don’t eat dessert, and don’t shop at top tier grocery stores like Whole Foods.
Granted, both adults work from home so it’s three meals a day at home, and we don’t price compare. We just buy what we want. I’ll have a ribeye once a week. I eat like 6-8 eggs for breakfast.
Anyway, this topic has always interested me because we seem to be at the higher end of grocery budgets but I certainly don’t feel like I’m eating luxurious cuisine.
My family of 4 is about $1100/mo
My family is mostly eating fiat food, I’m carnivore.
I eat about 8lbs ribeye and 5 lbs ground beef per week, if I don’t eat any game. 1 lb organ meat and some fruit. Eggs I buy the flat of 60, for only $6, that will last a week or 2.
The ribeyes I get for $6 per lb from local meat distributor, which is where I buy chicken for my dogs at 60c/lb. The dogs eat about 30 lbs. of chicken per week.

$6 per pound for ribeye is crazy cheap to me. I pay $20 for factory farmed stuff and $28 for local.
