We make almost everything from scratch. We do get a box with some kosher items which takes care of some dinners. Some dinners are just sandwiches with tuna and vegetables.

What kind of a box?

I just did grocery shopping for the week- groceries only, no fruits/vegetables or meat, and it came to $200.
Mine are 15-6

Just wanted to add to this.
I did my fruits/vegetables shopping today, and got some stuff that either I forgot or didn’t come in my order. Groceries was an additional $155 (two different stores) bringing the total to $355, and vegetables was $110….haven’t gotten any meat or chicken yet….

Family of 7 here.
And I spend for sure $500- 600 a week on food.
I do buy lots of fruits and vegetables..
My husband has special food preferences. Lol

Oh and this doesnt include my husbands erev shobbas shopping for dips, fresh tuna, cold cuts, jerky,
And also doesnt include the sunday bbq shopping..

Its a fortune.

We are a family of 3 and we spend about $200 a week on groceries. I get most of my non-perishables in Target though so that saves a bit.
