probably the majority of my expenditures ... eating out as well as buying mostly local/organic at the grocery stores ... plus, i'll have people over for dinner a bit and that adds to it ...
so ... $200+ a week is normal which includes eating out a bit ...
I probably spend a little over $100 per week on myself. I eat a ton of fruits and veggies and buy as much organic as possible. I don't think its possible to feed a family of 4 healthy food for $150. Eating healthy is expensive!

It is, you just buy what is on sale that week and look for bargins.
Oh man I am a human garbage disposal. My weekly food bill hovers around the $150 mark on any given week.
The other day I read a story about a woman who feeds her family of 4 on $100 a week using coupons and shopping at discount food stores.
Holy shit! A $100/week for a family of four. It just makes me feel like an over-indulgant pig. It really does.

Peter Rodman, a foreign policy expert who served every
Republican president from Richard Nixon to George W. Bush, including as an
assistant secretary of defense for nearly six years in the current
administration, died Saturday in Baltimore. He was 64.
The cause was complications of leukemia, said Danielle Pletka,
vice president of foreign and defense policy studies at the American
Enterprise Institute.
Rodman was lured into government by his senior thesis adviser at
Harvard, Henry Kissinger, then the national security adviser, and he became
Kissinger's aide in negotiations that included opening ties to China, peace
talks on Vietnam and the Arab-Israeli conflict.

LETTER FROM YORBA LINDA #66 | July 10, 2008 Touring with
the White House
By Tom Borcher
Tom has been a member of the Nixon Library Docent Guild
since 2002 and is a practicing attorney in
Los Angeles with Jacobs, Jacobs & Eisfelder.
White House history being a "hobby" of mine, one of
the biggest thrills in my five years as a docent at the Richard Nixon
Library & Birthplace was when John Zweifel's Miniature White House went on
display in 2004. ("Miniature" in this case being a model 70 feet by 30
feet.) I developed a forty-five minute "tour" of the model including the
history of both the model and the "real" White House." I enjoyed giving the
presentation to our guests on weekends and holidays. The day came, however,
when John rolled it into his distinctive semi-truck for other destinations.
When I learned that the model was to be displayed
at the George H. W. Bush Library in College Station, Texas, I asked them if
I could give my presentation there. Based largely on some kind words by
folks here at the Nixon Library, I was invited to Texas over the Memorial
Day Weekend in 2007.

Where do you think the coupons come from?
Shortcuts.com and a host of other online coupon sites.
...are those who've helped us.
Right 'round the corner could be bigger than ourselves.
so ... $200+ a week is normal which includes eating out a bit ...
But since we've moved into our house, we've cut our food expences drastically.
We've got a good sized backyard with several fruit trees. Apples, Pears, Cherry.
This summer we had an amazing vegetable and herb garden. As well as a couple of chickens.
Saving on Veggies, Eggs, and Fruit have really helped us save some cash.
Grow your own!!
