We are a family of 3 with a teen boy and we spend roughly $180/wk. Located in NY. I remember in the early 2000's you could fill a cart for about $40. You can't do that anymore.

I'm also mid 60's and eat well but pretty cheaply by myself. I spend about $75 per week on groceries. Plus I go out once or twice a week and spend around $25 on my restaurant food per week.

You are 100% right. I could write a thesis here on why but would suffice to say that I don't want to go back to the days of poverty, shortages, uncertainty,

I am definitely stronger financially, emotionally, even healthwise today than I ever was.

I am well over 65 and my wife and I eat well spending an average of less than $120.00 per week for groceries and cleaning supplies
