This is hard to answer because we generally do two to three weeks of grocery shopping at once (for two people) and then get perishable bits periodically. We also get certain things in bulk that we then don't have to replace for more than one shopping cycle.

However, our goal is $10/person/day, so I went with that.

Also, BJs or Costco memberships rule. You can't do all your shopping there, but if you know you'll eat enough of it buy your nonperishables in bulk.
