$40-$60 for about two weeks. I eat out a lot. Not that more expensive and I'm tired of buying nice foods only to find they had gone bad before I finish them.
The prices have to do with ethanol, worst idea since a screen door on a submarine. You can't cut foods/products that go into food for gas.

Ya prices are going up a lot. I've heard something like milk has gone up 40% in the past two months.
My fiance and I spend about 200 dollars every two weeks. We don't eat out much, and we try to eat a lot of fresh veggies and fruit. So.... 400 a month.

Let's put it this way, too much. My twins drink organic milk and now that Brianna has had some stomack problems, I switched her to organic soy milk. The milk part in itself is almost twice as much as what a normal family would spend on milk. The rest.. I shop when I'm hungry <blush>

6 bucks for a gallon of milk?
Stupid cows, it's all about greed with the lactose producers. They just go and spend it on hay and cheap prostitutes.

Warning to viewers: Extreme sarcasm follows!
Have no fear. When the annointed one, Barack Hussein Obama gets in the White House. we shall all be in the land of milk and honey. We shall want not. Neither shall we thirst or hunger.

As a college student, my shopping routine and budget follows as such:
Walmart / Sam's Club
Frequency: Once every two months
Expense: Around $250 per person (I live with one roommate)
Contents:
$10 - Various greens and fruits (this serves as the most inevitable reasoning for all the horrible foods I am about to throw in the basket that follow).
$40 - Frozen section; pizzas, Boston Market dinners, five lb. bags of buffalo wings, etc...
$15 - Chips (and if we're feeling classy, dip will follow - $5 variable differential)
$40 - Steak, ground beef, other manly / awesome things that put the grill to good use.
$40 - Beer (how cliché)
$40 - Liquor (most likely Jagermeister)
$15 - Coke, Pepsi, Red Bull (for the Jager, of course), etc...
Remainder is typically used within the depths of the five dollar dvd bins, deodorant, toy section (if we end up going at 3 am on a Tuesday because there's simply nothing better to do), etc.
One week later - All aforementioned items have been consumed (possibly even the dvd's).
Following seven weeks - Every meal is provided via take-out (typically chinese, taco bell, Qdoba, Su
ay, etc.. These are all within 500 yards of my apt.)
The next week (eight weeks from the last visit) - We return to Walmart to be responsible adults. The process repeats itself as nature intends.

We spend ( me and hubby) about 200- 250 a month.
we save alot of money on beef and pork as we butcher our own. Plus the deer meat and fishing
also i put in a large garden ever year. So we end up with alot of stuff peppers, cabbage rolls ( make a bunch at once and freeze ( deer meat used here)
The we make out own pickles, relish, spag sauce, green beans, corn, kraut stuff peppers, grilled peppers, all kinds of goodies.
We have shelves upon shelves of canned goodies and a freezer that is packed with meat.

Non- food items drive up my groc bill. Cleaning supplies,dog food,hygiene and such add up quickly.

we went to sam's club saturday:
we buy the two pack's of cereal, which are generally $4-6
got chicken thighs (skinless/boneless) for ~.95/lb
boneless/skinless breas-ts for ~1.50 /lb
ribeyes for ~6/lb
pork chops at ~$2.50 /lb
1% milk for 2.89
3 big cans of formula 31 each ($40 at baby'srus)
425 tablets of their knock off of centrum for $9.25 (compared to 350 of centrum for $18)
all and all it came to about $300 but will last us (the $200 part) for weeks. picked up the non bulk stuff for about $125 and we're good for about 3 weeks (odds and ends, such as bread/milk not included).
bread is still around $1.50-2 per loaf, so you gotta stop buying the expensive stuff.
stop buying the expensive milk...
start buying store stuff, it's honestly just as good (although, i won't buy store brand cereal)
