I've dealt with this issue before and have been trying to reduce our grocery bills as everyone whose commented has stated that our grocery costs are very high. But they are just plain expensive. I agree that we don't shop around for the best prices but with a toddler and both working full-time, we really don't have the time. So, we bought groceries on Saturday and even though we didn't but much meat, the order came to a whopping $199.95 (for 1 week). Here are some of the highlights:
+ Diapers - $38.99
+ Wipes - $8.99
+ Toilet paper - $7.39
+ Toilet cleaner - $4.99
+ Dryer sheets - $7.99
+ Coffee - $8.99
+ Steaks - $16.33
+ Ground beef - $11.57
It's just crazy to have to spend this sort of money on these things.

My wife and I are debating over reducing our grocery budget and are finding it very difficult to determine what to cut.
You got off cheap. I pay $7/lb for steak and $1.99/lb for ground beef. I live in a super high COLA way more than I pretty much anywhere in Canada. Think Victoria or downtown Toronto. 1 bed condos start at $300k in a crappy area.
So check out my blog for more costs.
