We spend roughly $150-$250 a fortnight buying things in bulk, and that's our whole grocery shop, not just food. Nappies are about $60 every two months or so, meat about $80 once a month. I have a weekly meal plan but it can change easily depending on how I feel on certain days. A great deal of things I don't cook from scratch. Especially chicken, I'm not sure I've prepared anything with chicken that didn't involve a packet recipe base in the past year or so We eat at my mum' since or twice a week, sometimes I'll cook there.
Occasionally I'll do a top-up shop at Coles or wherever, that's usually about $50ish.
$150ish weekly for 1 adult and 3 kids (though one eats nearly double what I eat, and the second one eats near as much as me - Miss 2 is well on her way too lol). I however have no choice but to buy at one of the big 2 supermarkets at their price mercy. We have no bakery or fruit and veg place sea pate to those. We are remote.
I pack all school lunches except for maybe 2 lunch orders a term. We eat out about once a week.
