one month grocery bills track chesi lekkalu veste following is avg costs as per inflation.  Ofcourse rice/chapati/quinoa preference, meat and fruit/snack choice would change the avg cost.

Rice 20 lbs - 80cups - 30cents/cup - 5cups/day - $1.5/day
2 vegs 2lbs each/whole chicken - $12/day
oil+thalimpu/popu+curryleaves+kothimeera/pudina+Others - $1.5/day
Curd 5lb - $8/week - $1.20/day
2trays of 18Eggs - $10/week => $1.42/day
Natural gas/power for stove = $40/mo = $1.33/day

per day lunch-dinner cost for family of 4 =~ $18.95/day =~ 568.6/mo

Healthy snack:
Fruits - 1pac apple + 1pac pear + 1pac oranges - $20/week - $2.85/day
Veg tray - $10/week - $1.42/day

Excluding breakfast total meals and snack cost =~ $23.22/day =~ $696.6/mo

Note : This is time pass thread. Dont tear cheddis or spread hatred.

10-15% wastage.

Snacks esp for kids. That's a big chunk of a lot of families spend. Esp frozen snacks. 

Drinks - Sparkling water, Soda, Energy drinks, etc. 

Dal, Paneer, Ingrediends needed for masalas, other groceries, etc.
