I'm curious to see what others spend. Don't include restaurants unless they're part of your daily routine. I eat out quite often but I'm not factoring that in to the average, except for my lunch which is eaten at the same place every day.
When I started cooking, I thought I'd end-up spending less, but it hasn't worked-out that way because I typically use expensive ingredients and do everything from scratch. I like to cook good food, not just feed myself.
I usually skip breakfast, but i typically spend $12-13 on lunch at a pasta place and dinner probably costs $10 on avg., which covers my filet mignon or veal (my two favorite meats) and side dishes. I save money by buying the whole filet of beef and butchering it myself.
