Every day, it seems, more and more Google searchers end up at IYM and Money Musings looking for guidance on grocery spending. I don't have any answers, really, but I can sure tell you what my family spends on groceries and eating out. (We're two adults and one almost-four-year-old, living in Oklahoma.)

For the quarter ended September 30, 2006, our food spending (no household consummables in there; I categorize it separately) looked like this:

Food / Dining Out: $140/month
Food / Groceries: $366/month
Total: $506/month

Boy, when I look at my numbers from the past (see "Related Articles" below), I'm sure seeing some nasty increases in these items ...
