one month grocery bills track chesi lekkalu veste following is avg costs as per inflation.  Ofcourse rice/chapati/quinoa preference, meat and fruit/snack choice would change the avg cost.

Rice 20 lbs - 80cups - 30cents/cup - 5cups/day - $1.5/day
2 vegs 2lbs each/whole chicken - $12/day
oil+thalimpu/popu+curryleaves+kothimeera/pudina+Others - $1.5/day
Curd 5lb - $8/week - $1.20/day
2trays of 18Eggs - $10/week => $1.42/day
Natural gas/power for stove = $40/mo = $1.33/day

per day lunch-dinner cost for family of 4 =~ $18.95/day =~ 568.6/mo

Healthy snack:
Fruits - 1pac apple + 1pac pear + 1pac oranges - $20/week - $2.85/day
Veg tray - $10/week - $1.42/day

Excluding breakfast total meals and snack cost =~ $23.22/day =~ $696.6/mo

I never track these expenses. Useless. The only thing we are consciously aware of is eating outside for health reasons. We prefer making everything at home with real ingredients. 

If expenses are a problem, just make more money. I would rather put my energies in it

10-15% wastage.

Snacks esp for kids. That's a big chunk of a lot of families spend. Esp frozen snacks. 

Drinks - Sparkling water, Soda, Energy drinks, etc. 

Dal, Paneer, Ingrediends needed for masalas, other groceries, etc. 

yeah kids snack was not included but it wouldn't be much expensive. $50 easy ga aipotundi. 

Soda, energy drinks avoid chesudu better. long run assam aitham. 

others can be covered in budget, personal choice.

I cook for a family of four in the UK, and groceries usually come to around £100–120 per week, depending on what meats or snacks are included. To compare with other countries, I found https://compare.nedostavka.net/en/united-kingdom-and-poland-price-comparison-of-products-and-goods-gb-pl pretty useful for checking price differences across basic items like rice, veggies, and cooking oil. Helped me understand why some ingredients felt pricier here.
