My "budget" for food has been really in flux lately, but on average in a given month, I spend about $150 at the grocery store. This doesn't include side trips to ethnic markets, which is probably another $25-$50/month, but sometimes those side trips include premade meals from the "deli case," or whatever passes for one at the Pakistani or Korean or Japanese markets. *g*
In the summer, I go to the farmers' markets a lot, but I'm thinking about joining Boston Organics. I've heard nothing but good about them, and even given that I go to farmers' markets, I'm all "ooh, nifty" there and then am not sure what to do with them, so I come home with the same old stuff. I'm hoping that a weekly delivery where I can read up on what's coming ahead of time will do two things for me: 1. I can look up recipes for said fruits and veggies. 2. I can thus implement more fruits and veggies into what I eat naturally. That will be $25/week, but then my grocery bills should hopefully decrease to compensate, since then I'll just need milk and juice and crackers and cheese and bread and some meats/fish and my snobby chocolate and baking supplies. ;)
