Maybe food is more expensive in Canada, but my family of 4 never eats out and we spend $250-275/week. I cook most things from scratch and I buy mostly local or organic dairy and produce which costs me an extra 25-30% depending on the season.

There can be a lot of variability depending on where you shop.
We buy fruits and veggies in the specialized "market" stores. Supermarket prices are double. We buy stuff that's on sale (pretty much everything goes through a cycle of sales or is on sale somewhere). We shop for dairy across the border where organic milk costs about half...
