I voted for $100/person... but I'm kinda skewed as well. We spend about $750 a month on food items. Maybe some months it's more like $800? A couple months back it was waaaay more (infant in the house who didn't eat solids- no teeth, so she was solely on formula). I didn't calculate diapers or household items like soap and toilet paper.
My husband's diet just changed drastically, and he cut all soda from his diet. That saves us a lot of money... he used to go thru a 12-pack in a couple days.
I also recommend getting a small deep freeze if you are looking to save money. Every month or so my meat dept at the store I shop at has a HUGE meat sale- and meat is usually 50%-60% off. I usually clear out all of their hamburger, and some of their steak. Occasionally I'll buy salmon to freeze as well. Those high dollar items would be harder to purchase if I didn't watch for sales. I do the same thing for frozen pizzas when they go on sale 4/$10 or whatever. I could never do this if I didn't have my deep freeze. I absolutely LOVE it.
