Well, it also makes a big difference if you're buying organic. We
buy for two, the only "processed" foods we buy are bread, cereal,
pasta and tomato sauce/paste, we buy very little meat, but because
we buy the organic version of everything we can, we find it difficult
to spend less than $80-$100/week. (But I agree that non organic food
is dirt cheap -- and junk food seems the cheapest of all.) Anita
