My final trip to Whole Foods for this part of the experiment (sniffle)... and I spent $47.77 on bread, milk, eggs, and snacks. Oh, and I stocked up on Yves' Veggie Bologna because I know I can't find it at Safeway or Lucky. So, the total for this week is $161.22.

For all four weeks, the grand total comes to $674. That's less than $200 a week to feed a family of four (more or less - the baby makes five but he doesn't eat much). We do eat take out at least once a week (usually pizza) and we either go out to eat or eat at someone else's house for lunch on weekends. The spending totals do not include alcohol or coffee purchases.
