USDA Food Plans

According to The USDA , the average couple (2 adults) on the “frugal plan” spent $83.10 a week on food in the month of February… The “Low cost plan” came in at $106.10 a week, the Moderate plan was $131.50 a week, and the Liberal Plan was $164.70

Makes me feel good that my fiancé and I spent only $50 a week, and that includes most of our toiletries too! I wonder where these people are shopping and what are they eating???

What’s your weekly (or Monthly) Grocery allotment? We budget $250 a month for food in case there are 5 shopping weeks a month. The excess we use for toiletries or Propane gas for the BBQ.
