About once a month I go to costco (bulk food place). This almost always costs $130 dollars. Every time I have gone, it has been shopping for two people, but this past time, it was just shopping for me. All this means is, it will last me more then a month. In terms of non-food stuff I buy there (toilet paper, paper towels, tissues, bags etc..) I bought a huge amount of them when I first got my membership, and have not needed any more since then (back in august I think?) I normally eat lunch out every day, but rarely eat out for dinner (0-2 times a week). When I do eat out for lunch I keep it under $6, but it normally ends up being closer to $4 (I love the food trucks). When I go out for dinner, I normally spend at least $30. All the rest of the stuff (buying milk, eggs, some random thing I need for a meal that night) I would suspect comes out to about $20 a week, and I think that is a bit higher then reality (though I am not sure).
Hope this helps (though it probably didn't). I agree with the quicken thing. Use quicken to get an idea of how much you are spending on what, and then adjust as needed.
