We spent 600ish at a Costco last week. Had to replenish our meat supplies. A few produce items, printed paper, and some snacks things for the kids. I about died.

I shop about every 10 days, about 100-125.00 at the grocery store. Then every 2-3 weeks for paper goods, laundry and cleaning supplies from Walmart about 80.00. Costco every 6 - 8 weeks, 150-200 for meat, dog food and other staples. Just two people, two dogs, multiple large birds and some loaches.

Probably around $250 for 2 weeks. 3 people, 3 dogs. I am still trying to get weight on Baby (rescue dog) so I spend a lot on food for him.

We spent $1200 in the first week of March preparing for the pandemic. That includes a LOT of non-grocery items though and I am just now getting to the end of the food we stocked up in the freezer. I may never have to buy shredded cheese again. I think probably the most I've spent on food at one time is $700.

I sent my 23yo daughter to buy a few things when I found out we were going to have to shelter in place; she spent almost $400 She came in the door saying "I.am.not.going.back.to.Kroger!" I think that's the most I've ever spent at once, but it's just the two of us.

I once spent $400 ish - filled up 2 carts. When my husband left and I was concerned he would leave me high and dry. So I stocked up on food and household and school supplies since it was that time of year also. And a day or 2 later he did indeed drain the account.

It was quite traumatic! I’m still so grateful for the pea support I received 😊

We used to rent a house in Hawaii and fill it with extended family. Food is very expensive in Hawaii, so those were my most expensive food bills from Costco.

When I was going once per month, it was about $500.

We spend about $200/week on groceries, including paper products. Sometimes a little more or less depending on if a few bottles of wine make it into the cart. I'm not a big stocker-upper and tend to just buy what we'll need for the week, plus replenishing any pantry staples that are running low.
I think the most I ever spent was when I hosted Thanksgiving for DH's side of the family. That was about $600, including alcohol.

I just want to say I am so jealous. This pandemic has made us realize we need a 2nd fridge. Our kids are currently 2, 4, 7, and 9. I can't fit a week's worth of food in ours.
No kidding! We have 5 kids ages 2-14 and it's a challenge. For us to fit a fridge in the garage we will have to remove this weird build in shelving that is in there, but it definitely needs to happen. We do have a small dorm fridge that Dh stopped using at work a while back and even that has made an amazing difference.
