Great job on your shopping. I don't have mine broken down, but I do have a bad habit of shopping for convenience rather than price; i.e., go to one store and do it all. The only exception is in the summer when the farmer's markets are open.....but that's more like an outing with side benefits!
But I also tend to get organic packaged products which cost an arm and a leg, like organic prepacked pizza crusts are personal size and I spend $5 for two of them. I also have to buy the cheese and the sauce.
I don't mind though. I just have to watch how often I decide to eat out. Sometimes I'm just staring at my kitchen shelf thinking "I don't want any of this..." and I either go out and get something or I get really creative...
You guys are better than me. Although I shop for 3 people, I generally spend about $100 a week {sometimes more}. We go to Shop rite, Aldis, Produce Junction, mainly.
My partner and I usually spend around $100 (AUD) one week, then $60 or so the next. Most of it on fresh fruit and veg, but we buy a lot of organic packaged stuff which jacks up the price! We don't eat meat though.
I am jealous of everyone managing to only spend $30 a week!
Ours still runs about $100-$150 a week for 2 adults but the categories sure are different! Much more falls under "produce" and "dairy" than "grocery". Grocery means doritos, soda, cookies, bagels, etc.!
People say it's so much more expensive to eat healthy. In our case, now that we have it down, it's actually the same or cheaper in some respects. No more takeout and/or delivery which is $20 minimum no matter what we ordered.

good point. I don't think most people think of eating out when they think about their grocery bill. but they should.
I spend $30 to $40 a week for one person. I buy lots of fresh vegetables, fruits, fish, and a few staple ingredients, like soy sauce, that I can't make from scratch. I also buy kimchi and tofu, but I'm getting ready to attempt both from scratch to reduce my bill.
But I buy everything on the dirty dozen list organic (celery, green pepper, tomatoes, apples grapes, lettuce, carrots, etc.). And I juice TONS of lettuce varieties every week!
Weekly food bill, whats your's?
