    Do I need to factor in my FedEx bill? I voted in the poll but that's as close to admitting to myself what the number is as I want to go. Actually typing it out is too scary. On the plus (?) side, most of my purchasing goes toward building (now more like "rounding out") a cellar more so than how much I actually drink in a week.

    For beers drank at home and at restaurants and bars I'm in the $75-100 range.

    This does not reflect vacations.

    I average $45 a week including purchases for home, out at a bar, or at dinner. I'm working on building a cellar though so I typically buy more a week than I actually drink.

    My budget for beer is usually about 25-30 bucks a week

    Totally depends on the week.
    A normal week is usually 50-100. But if I go to a bottle release that can eaisly double but that is rare. But im also going to Hill Farmstead on Thursday so my credit card might be getting maxed.

    I used to spend $40-$60 a week just on beer but I had to slow down due to health reasons so now I only buy beer every other week. Still spend between $40-$60 but I don't buy as often. Sometimes I may go 3 weeks in between shopping trips. My bank account looks better at this point as well.

    Some weeks, $0, although usually at least $10-15. On the other hand, every 2-3 months, I travel either to Cincinnati or Chicago and will drop $75-100 picking up items not available in Indiana. Then, every few months, a limited release Sun King will come out or I'll win an allotment of Upland sours, and in a single transaction I might drop $100 or more. Add in a beer on draft once in a while and, all told, probably $50-$75 per week.

    Which leads me to conclude that I must be more careful about my beer budget.

    $75-100 bUT a lot of that is going out to bars or trading. I don't buy from any local stores on a weekly basis

    I'd say on average $25-$50... but like this past weekend when I'm in an area that has better selection it can be upwards of $250. I think I purchased around $225 this weekend, but I got some stuff for trading and beers I haven't had yet. Good weekend overall.

    Average about $50-$75/month, which is kinda depressing considering how few bottles that translates into...

    I keep track of how much I spend/invest on beer, pets, gambling,and food. I'm content with the dollar amounts.

    Yeah given the sheer effort involved to get there, it's become the exception to my "I won't line up for beer" and "think about the cost" rules

    I usually spend about $40 a week unless there is a special release that I want then I'll go beyond my budget. The most I've ever spent in one haul was around $200. But sometimes I don't spend anything.

    How much I spend really depends on what is available.

    It really depends. I tend to brew my own quite a bit, and depending on the kit/ingredients, the price per week can get heavy.

    How much do I spend on commercial beer? Very little, honestly.

    Probably around $30, mostly at various bars. I can either buy beer to drink at home each week, or go out and drink some with my friends. I usually choose to go out with my friends.
