For those who have regular meals at home, how much does your grocery and household necessities (like tissue paper / laundry soaps etc) add up to every week? I'm a fulltime housewife and I spend about $150. In my home theres only me, hubby and toddler. Friends and family drop by occasionally. Sometimes i feel it's too much but i cook everyday. And i also buy toiletries from cheaper shops like Venus or CK. I will wake up very early twice or thrice a week to go to wet market to get fresh meats and seafood at cheaper price. But I tend to buy organic foods, bigger prawns (small ones cheaper) or more nutritious fish like fresh salmon and codfish sometimes.

We also spend 150-200 per week for 2 primary school children and 3 adults. We spend less for non veg and end up spending more for fruits and vegetables. Adults eat less carbs and more Vegetables and fruits. We also cook all the meals every day at home. Other than vegetables most of the items we buy from NTUC.
