Average groccery per person in USA?

Question

Hey, how much I'll have to pay for grocceries per month if I'm living alone in Los Angeles?

Whats the average monthly price assuming I eat 2-3 times a day and thats it.

Answer 1

First: the number will fluctuate by about $30 depending on where you shop. I live in Downtown LA, so the prices tend to be higher than in lower-income areas, in the Valley, and at discount stores.

I live alone and pay about $80 every week and a half, using no coupons. (Take into account the higher prices.) So about $230-250 a month on average. I don't buy much meat, but I do buy vegetables and prepared packaged items (which are expensive). Also, it should be noted I spend about $90 on food out every month, which ends up being about 12 meals not prepared from groceries.

Answer 2

The average monthly price would be about 250 dollars. It really depends on what type of food you eat. If you like organic things then you make rack up about 350-400 per month. If you are a person who lives off of cereal,hotdogs,poptarts and those sort of things then you may be about to get by with about 200 dollars a month depending on where you buy your food. If you shop at Walmart you'll save a lot of money but the food quality isn't as good. If you shop at Costco the food quality is excellent but, the prices are higher because everything is in bulk ( I would personally recommend costco).  

Answer 3

456 dollars a month.

Answer 4

It all depends WHAT you eat. For a family of 6, we usually drop around $300 every two weeks at Costco. Your mileage may vary.

For example, we're meat eaters. If you're a vegetarian, you're not going to be buying meat. But you can get eggs, milk, produce, and many other things on the cheap at costco. 18 eggs is about $1.50. 2 gallons of milk is about $5.00. Prices vary from city to city, even store to store.
