    i have a family of 4. we're not rich, but we're very comfortable. me, wife, 14 year old, and 12 year old. our grocery bill is about $180 a week (but that also includes paper towels, toilet paper, cleaning supplies, whatever else, and most important.... beer). oh, and we have a dog. we rarely skimp on groceries but i remember a couples time in the past few years i told everyone we're eating sandwiches and ramen noodles this week. now that i think about it, we could skimp a lot because my kids actually like ramen noodles, we can easily do that like once a week. of course i don't have to drink all that beer, but i'm not skimping there.

    generic bleach works just as good. unless you have the really tough stains like Rod's girl, then you have to use the some industrial strength concentrated bleach.

    It's just me but I don't cook or eat at home. I spend $5.00 in the morning, $11.00 at lunch and 15 for dinner. With tips and drinks I spend about 350 a week when it's all said and done, sometimes 4.

    $20-30 a week for me. I mostly eat cereal with milk, instant noodles, rice with something canned, drink water, drink beer, and maybe visit the ol' Dollar Menu at McDs.
