I am only buying groceries for one- so my budget is very reasonable, especially this time of year when I am getting my bi-weekly CSA box of fresh locally grown veggies.
I do not have a budget for groceries. I spend close to $200 every 2 weeks for a family of 5.
Eating healthy is expensive, so I comparison shop, shop at 2 or 3 different stores (all in close proximity of each other) and use coupons, coupons and more coupons!!!
We don't really budget...and only really go grocery shopping once every two weeks (other than if we need milk or bread). We usually spend between $100 - $125 every 2 weeks.
I don't have a budget for anything anymore, it is all going into the gas tank. I am being very frugal these days. I spend between 25 and 50 a week for myself and my son...fifty when I hve to buy stuff for his snacks and lunches at summer camp...which starts tomorrow. It's going to be ruff.
I don't have a set budget for groceries, but I try to stay under $40 a week, including fresh vegetables for my bunny, cat food for Calypso, and enough for myself.
I budget $50 a week and very rarely spend that much on groceries. Well, I do spend more than $50 at once, but at the end of the month I always come under budget because I do not shop every week.
We don't have one. Some weeks we buy a lot and some hardly anything at all. It sort of depends on what money I have coming in since I do the major shopping.
Budget? Let's just say around $500.00 monthly...hence, $125.00 weekly for three people and that's not counting extras like milk, bread, eggs, beverages, etc...every two or three days.
I'm about to get real religious...move to the desert and fast...until I just disappear.
I don't have one but I watch sales & use coupons whenever possible. I try to keep it at $100 but often hit $150. I have 2 teenage grandsons that live with me and several others that spend a day or weekend.

We don't really have one either. I like to keep it under $100 maximum, but it's hardly ever close to that. I don't do a weekly shopping trip anymore. I used to when I was trying to stock up with sales and such, but now I just run to one store(whichever is having the sale on the particular item I need) and get that.
We spend about $25 a week I guess, but that's just to keep the rotating stock filled. We also tend to buy a lot of high quality meats in bulk(at Costco) then freeze, so sometimes our grocery bill is $500 for a month, but then the next 4-5 months its only $30 a month. I do a lot of bulk shopping for things that can be frozen or aren't perishable, so while it's more to begin with, it lasts a lot longer and I just run out and get a few items like lettuce and such.
Whatever we can afford after paying for rent and gas, and sometimes medicine.
