Our family of 6 spends between $75 and $125 a week on groceries and we eat plentifully. Eating out is a massively overrated and overpriced expense.

HCOL city.
Sometimes we drive up to fruit farms/vegetable farms and grab a ton of extras for low cost. Think $1/lb avocados, strawberries, etc. really helps us diversify since they can’t get enough people to harvest it all and sell.
Hope that clarifies any confusion. We don’t buy everything every week, and we eat everything, no leftovers. The full list is closer to $100 than $75.
