what is a good monthly budget for groceries? family of 3

Question

Hello I'm trying to budget because we plan on moving out soon and wondering what the average budget is for your groceries and your family size? By the time we move out our child will be a little over 1

Answer

I go grocery shopping biweekly and spend between 150 and 200 for 2 of us so about 100 weekly or 400 monthly

Answer

We are 4 and use about 130-150$ a week.

Answer

Look up Dave Ramsey. He has a recommendation for budgets.

Answer

It just depends on what you buy. I spend about $150 biweekly, but we stick to a very boring menu, and I buy meat in bulk and freeze it. If we had more money, we'd probably spend more so we could eat more vegetables and lean meat.

Answer

We average $155 weekly for 2. I think it depends on too many things for someone else to know what would work for you. I suggest tracking your spending to get a good idea. My husband and I do it every single month and we know where every penny goes so I can tell you exactly how much I spend and where. It helps realize what you can afford and what your saving and where you can improve etc.

Answer

We are a family of 4 and we spend between 100-150 for two weeks worth of meals. We buy snack items from boxed.com to save some money and buy in bulk and that usually costs about 100-150 every month and a half to 2 months depending on what I previously bought.

Answer

We are a family of two and spend $50-75 a week on groceries, including the non-food items i buy from Walmart.

Answer

That's a tough one. Depends on so many things. Where you live, if you have any access to free food (my SO works at a dairy plant so all of our milk, cream, and sometimes sour cream is free, so we use a lot more we would if we had to buy it all), if you're willing to put a little time in every week to shop sales, plan out menus AND stick to them, how expensive your tastes are (my SO loves seafood and buys a lot), how much freezer and pantry space you have, etc.

Answer

It's very hard to determine because each individual family differs so much. Plus your location and the prices also differ. I have a family of 6 that includes myself, husband and 4 children. I would say on a good week I might do well at 200 a week.

Answer

Family of 2 right now and we spend $170/month on groceries.
