We are usually about $100/ week for two of us which is primarily just food. I primarily shop at No Frills, say 75% and Safeway for the rest as No Frills doesn’t carry a lot of stuff I like but they’re way cheaper then Safeway on most items.
The price of meat is through the roof right now. Things that use to be money savers like ground beef, chicken legs are 3 and 4 times what they were a couple of years ago, and to find a sale on rib eyes or strip loins anywhere is impossible.
I will go through Flip app and make my list and meal plan primarily based on what’s on sale, then there’s somethings I like that are just expensive. We also have a large deep freeze and two fridge freezers so I will stock up on meat when there’s a good sale.

4 of us and the total does include household stuff like soap, tissues, etc (almost all Costco). I try and save whenever possible but the wife is picky about organics on certain things. The total also includes vitamins/minerals from the local health store which really adds up. Still surprising to see how high it is but I guess makes sense when it includes everything. Nice to not have to buy lunches so often now that I work from home
