I spend less than $200/month on groceries. I budget carefully, and
shop sales, buying many things only when they are on sale. I buy
produce only in season, and again, read the circulars carefully. I
don't buy many processed foods and I make almost everything from
scratch myself.

I budget about $40/week on groceries. That doesn't include wine
though..I have a separate budget for that.
