    Your budget has to suit you and your family's circumstances; it depends on your likes/dislikes, are you veggie/meat eaters, what stores you have nearby, and a hundred other variables.

    you might get some ideas on the Grocery Challenge thread - you don't have to sign up to it if you don't want to, just read through the posts to see how other people are budgeting

    here are a few links that might help :)
