I guess for a larger family you could save a lot by going to Costo or Walmart, but for a single, it's just not practical buying large quantity of food. It's hard to store fresh vegetables for more than a week.
My estimate includes miscellaneous stuffs such as condiments, plastic/aluminum wraps and so on which could cost quite a bit.

Well hang on....I don't consider alcohol to be part of "groceries". So if you are including that in your amount, I wonder how many others are too. Please clarify. Might make you feel better. |
Me & wifey do not drink, just a few times a year mostly @ cookouts-party's
We go to Costco too, bulk items
feeding the wolves I mean kids costs money, teenage girls cost the most, you would think the little 5' 100 pounders eat like birds no way
Combined with snobby organic tastes and not knowing the word NO they are the bulk spenders on groceries
If I asked for a name brand cereal growing up my mother would give me the death stare
