I think this is one area where family budgets widely vary. My sister and her husband eat out often and spend thousands per month dining out. They had no idea how much others save by buying healthy groceries and cooking most meals at home.
My family of three spends $600 -$700 per month on groceries, another $60 per week for Blue Apron meals (feeds three of us for three restaurant quality meals each week), and maybe another $60 per month at the farmers market for organic meat and produce. Then we eat out for dinner once or twice per month ($75 each time).
So for three of us we spend about $1200 per month max.
I have an espresso maker and we make cappuccino or lattes or a pot of bold drip Starbucks Cafe Verona at home daily. We get free Starbucks drink offers quite often also.
And we eat well. Often I am grilling steaks, burgers or salmon Etc.
