grocery budget

Supermarket spending limit

A grocery budget is the amount of money allocated for food purchases, typically set weekly or monthly.

It usually covers items from supermarkets—produce, meat, dairy, pantry staples—though boundaries vary by household: Does eating out come from the grocery budget or entertainment?

Sticking to a grocery budget is a common personal finance goal.
