Poll - what is a reasonable food budget for a family of 3?

Lately it seems as if I spend over $600/month just on groceries, and that seems outrageous.

What is a reasonable monthly food budget for a family of 3 (adults)?

Update:

Location is California.

Style of eating is "on a budget".

    Try to not eat out and also buy store brand and get a store membership card

    Since you live in California go to a Ralph's or a publix and buy store brand beans, rice and ground turkey that's one meal that should feel you all for roughly $9

    Just the wife and me spend that much a month.

    Since she smokes that brings it up to $800.

    Try more spaghetti, tuna sand. and Ramon noodle

    soup. yum yum.

    That is high but you need to look at what you are eating.

    Start buying in bulk for some items
