One week could be $100, another could be $200.
It's usually around 100-125 a week.
We're not big eaters. Or messy.
Most people I know with a family of 4 or 5 spend easily 200k a week on groceries.

200k? Gold-plated caviar and diamond-encrusted lobsters?

Ridiculous questions, and what does this have to do with living in a house in Nassau??? For Pete's sake, where do you live now and what do you spend??? Not gonna be much different.

Too much. We throw out too much food we buy with intention of cooking and get take out too much simply because we have too much going on.

Yup! That's us too.
Although we're getting better.

100 a week for 2 people some times a little less. This includes food and non-food items.

Same here with that. we spend approx $150-200 a week for fam of 4. Is anyone using Amazon Fresh? We started using and seems pretty comparable with Stop/shop and Trader Joe’s/. Some items slightly cheaper especially with the organic poultry. Very convienent as well as it shows up on your door step . Haven’t completely made the switch as we like to see what we are buying (but also have not had any issues with the fruits, vegs and meats).
