How much do you spend a week on groceries?

When Jen McLaughlin and her then-fiancé started planning their wedding a few years ago, they needed creative ways to save some cash.

One of the first expenditures McLaughlin put under the microscope was the couple's monthly food tab.

"Between groceries and eating out, we were spending between $700 and $900 a month for two of us - which is insane," she recently told CTV.ca.

Faced with that bulging tab, McLaughlin's penny-pinching instincts kicked into action: soon, she was clipping coupons and planning out two-week menus.

"Doing that, we've found we're doing between $200 and $250 a month on groceries, and another $50 for eating out," she said.
