I was actually really surprised when I compared Target grocery to some of my local stores and found a lot of it comparable in price.  But seriously I shop at Safeway which is middle of the road and still don't need much.  I also use frozen chicken breasts as one of my staples, and I even get organic.  For my husband and I together I'd be hard pressed to say we spend more than $220 a month, and that's in California.
