How much money do you spend on food per week per person? (in an average week, eating your average food, not an exceptional one with a holiday feast or a dinner treat at an for you unusually fancy restaurant or the like)

View Answers

less than 20 € (currently exchanged to about 27.50 US$ or so or 17.50 UK£, convert € below accordingly, though I realize the exchange rate vagaries don't reflect local purchasing power for stuff like food necessarily)

I try to stay under 75 $US per week, including apples and carrots and mints and molasses for the horse. Two or three years ago it was 50, but I finally had to give up and admit it was time to raise the limit. I try to buy spices and olive oil etc when on sale, so sometimes those purchases push me over 75.

I use up my over-ripe bananas by baking breads and muffins and cakes to take to the barn, which does cost me money in flour, sugar, eggs, etc. It'd probably be cheaper to just toss the bananas outside for the varmints, but I enjoy the baking and the barn people enjoy the eating, so...

Yeah, in mine the fresh stuff I share with my three rats is included as well, i.e. veggies and every now and then yogurt or an egg, but they are much smaller than a horse.
