[QUOTE="Kiwi Pete, post: 8194985, member: 63856"] Around $120/week here - mainly snacky stuff for kid's lunches.. coffee, sugar and cleaning /personal hygiene stuff. Same spend as when I was a kid but it buys a lot less. Things have crept up but we spend a lot less than 5 years ago because we do more for ourselves than we did then - I do more fishing and diving, less hunting, more things growing in the garden, more meats in the freezers Would hate to think what it would cost to buy all the ingredients to dine the way we do, I think $600/week would be ballpark. Takeaways, yep we do quite often, good "pie cart" down the street does amazing sushi and pizza, burgers etc. We give them our excess veg and Hiroki gives us freebies whenever we go there, a bit of bartering makes life very enjoyable, especially when we both finish work late some days and the lads are fractious. All up, including the takeaways, fuel to go "hunter gatherer-ing" I would say $50 per family member per average week feeds us [/QUOTE]
