Monthly/weekly food budget...

What does everyone spend a month on food? Do you think it's possible to spend only $300 a month? I can't see how. We're trying to spend less money on food since that's where we spend a lot of money.

There is a thread on the Home board about this. It has some good tips on how to save money on food bills.

Some people have said they spend $300 a WEEK on food.

I would say yes, if you buy in bulk from BJs or somewhere like that. DH and I spent $400 there (starting from scratch because of our new apartment) and we've been getting by just fine, so I definately think it's possible.

Well, my DH eats a lot of meat (chop meat, chicken, beef) and cold cuts. That's what is most expensive for us. We could definitely spend less and eat more pasta...We also get Chinese take out and pizza, which do add up--even Chinese take out winds up being $20 a week for one meal for the two of us.
