Granted, I cook not only for my vegan self, but also for a hardcore 'meat-atarian' so I still buy meat for him, which makes my bill slightly higher. In all, it works out for us to about 40-50 a person per week, but when I catch produce on sale, I stock up and using dry beans that I cook in my crockpot has saved us quite a bit. If I was by myself, I think it would be closer to 30-40 a week for just me.
