How much do youvspend on groceries?

MikeOscar SG

My mom for some reason never fail to spend more than S$70/- per week on groceries…. Just wondering if we are over spending or is it normal… :-/

ditzy SG

I can't tell what your family background is like. So I can't tell you if its normal or not.

TehJarVu SG

my house 3 people about $50 per week
ie. for wet market items only ie. meat, fish and vegies
not including supermarket groceries like rice, detergent, toilet paper....

killtheink SG

yeah how many people in your family? what kind of food does she buy? where does she buy from? because meidi-ya, market place, cold storage and giant, all quite a big difference.

there're 6 people (2 old folks, 3 adults, 1 young adult) in my family, home cooked food 5 days in a week, all the raw/fresh food's bought from the local wet market + some extras here and there (can goods, bread, butter, jam, etc, etc, dried foods) is a mix from either ntuc or cold storage. 1 month abt $500+?

Private house mah, the seaon of the veges come differently, Bananas sow in January, Papaya in Feb, then my kang kong, which needs to be care, growth and harvest each month end, then my chilli harvest every 3 months, for cucumber on fences is share with my neighbour, harvest twice a year, once harvested, alots of them. I can use them to for my facial and eye pad therapy.

It seems like singaporean, living too long in HDB and small condos had forgotten about gardening liao, it so much fun and nice to see the harvest.

$70/week is not a huge amount. It is in fact very little.. It translate to about $10/day to feed a whole family? I can't imagine how I can survive with that. We're living in an age where good quality food actually cost more than the unhealthy varieties you find outside. If you've watched the documentary 'Food Inc' you'd know what I'm talking about..

I spend about that same amount on groceries every week.. could be more and that's just me alone. Here's how I eat: lots of chicken breast, They're very rich in protein.. I have them almost every meal, Lentils (about half a cup dry each time), which are good source of slow carbohydrate, and brocolli and snow peas. I love berries too, they're superfood.. You find all that anti-oxidants that you need.

I'm not rich by the way, I'm actually poorer than many of you =P What I'm trying to say here is that you should really spend more on food.. They're very important. We are what we eat

@angel7030.. Yea we should all do that. If we all do that together, Its actually quite a viable source of good quality food. But then again, not many of us live in private house like you do. =P You can't plant strawberry in a tropical country.. meh...
