I am single, 60, excellent cook
I probably spend $60 a week at grocery, but that includes paper goods, wraps, etc as well
I make EVERYthing from scratch.
I eat well!, but I work hard at it
I almost always buy whats on sale, but Im creative, so that never holds me back.
I use a lot of dried beans for pasta dishes, salads, humus, etc
I roast chickens and make soup from the left overs.
I make a lot of soups, chile, stews, sauces, etc. I make all my own breads and desserts.

We probably spend 200/week at the market but that would include paper products, laundry products.
We send our kids to school with lunch, we eat breakfast at home (hot or cold cereal or breakfast bars or eggs).
We cook dinner 5 times/week
I never buy prepared foods
