I live alone and spend about $200/mo on groceries, not including toiletries or cleaning supplies. Lunches and dinners out are about $120/mo, even though I've been saying for years that I want to get that down to $80.

It's hard to imagine spending $200 a week at the grocery store. Do you cook or buy the premade stuff? I like to cook monstrous vats of soups and stews and then freeze them in 1 qt bags for I-don't-wanna-cook emergencies. Same goes for roasts, spaghetti sauce, etc.
