Food and Drink What do you spend on fresh fruits and veggies a week - Page 9

One thing my wife and I don't really budget is our groceries. We tend to shop a few times a week and buy only the next two or three meals at a time. So I don't have a good feel for this.

I'm trying to do the math on joining a local CSA. What would you say you spend a week on fresh fruits and veggies?

Word.

I just ran 10 days worth of grocery receipts and fresh produce came in at $95.

We're probably running $250 a month on a consistent basis. Just ate a huge bowl of fruit with fresh nectarines, strawberries, kiwi and blueberries. That plus some greek yogurt has been a pretty consistent breakfast for me the last few months.

Lunch today will be roasted sweet potatoes, carrots, and beets, and sauteed mushrooms. Typically at work I'll eat one of those pre-washed plastic boxes of salad greens with dressing -- I'm willing to pay extra for the convenience.

I don't worry too much about fruits and veggies at dinner since I am getting plenty at breakfast and lunch.
