Between 2020 and 2024, the cost of groceries jumped 23.6%, and there is no sign of these price increases slowing down. The U.S. Department of Agriculture provides food plans for families that break into four categories: thrifty, low-cost, moderate-cost and liberal. In 2025, this is how much a family of four is estimated to be spending:
- Thrifty: $995.20 per month ($229.70 per week)
- Low-Cost: $1,070.10 per month ($267.53 per week)
- Moderate-Cost: $1,292.80 per month ($323.20 per week)
- Liberal: $1,566 per month ($391.50 per week)
