My husband and I fall in the thrifty category. Pretty good considering we eat a lot of meats and fresh veggies (shopping around the perimeter of the store). Healthy food is never the cheapest option but we can make it work. This is a great chart! My husband and I fall in the thrifty category.

We have been living pretty tight as a few here seem to be as well. It was good to have a dollar amount to work on. This is generous in the amounts given. Our tally for the family of 5 was $208.30. Which is about what I spend. Thank you for your useful guide. Thanks for this. We have been living pretty tight as a few here seem to be as well. It was good to have a dollar amount to work on.

And food is more expensive here than the US...gotta wonder just what that hypothetical budget is being spent on? Looks like I can shop at the farmer's market and buy grass-fed beef and lamb (actually you can't buy any other sort here) on half the budget needed to feed an American family.

My husband has a special diet and needs to have a lot of fruits and veggies. They are pretty expensive here lately, even in season. I shop at a local farmers market when I can, but they are not that much cheaper and have a limited selection. Any suggestions? Wow…I am spending too much.
