All and all Desi (Punjabi) food at home and at work - Starting from a Parantha at the breakfast, Roti/Chawal/Sabzi/Daal at lunch, and the same at dinner. Weekends are reserved for the special delicacies, i.e. stuffed Paranthas, Shahi/Kadahi Paneers, Pooris, Naans, Bhatooreys, Malai Koftas, etc. All thanks to my Mom and Wifey.
Basically, a typical Punjabi household that takes pride in its food habits 
.
Pizza once a while, but even when we go out it's still to the Indian Restaurant or may be, Maxican (Chipotle). Don't eat out much as we make pretty good food at home itself.
Everyone, except me at home is Veggie, so never did bbq. I go out with colleagues once a while where I get to eat Chicken. That's all about it.
Basically, the whole family is pretty conservative with our food. I specifically don't like to experiment with food, and go with tried and tested.
This may change in a few years as my son is growing up. But, he too likes his Paranthas and Daal for now.
How much is your average grocery bill for your family per month ? Say 2 people or 4 people or whatever family you have.
1. Monthly Grocery Bill.
2. Monthly eating out bill ( could be restaurants, fast food, coffee anything, ordering pizza etc )
I consider eating out more under entertainment and miscellaneous expenses like watching movies etc.
If I buy frozen pizza from grocery store and make it at home, its a grocery bill for me. But if I order take out or delivery from Pizza Hut, Pizza Pizza etc, I consider it to be entertainment expense, and not undre grocery budget, even though its food or lunch, dinner
It's difficult to calculate since we buy more during promotion but we spend around $800-1000 pm. (4 in the family & we have few guests sometimes) WE buy party pizza 2-3 times in a month and go out to eat in a restaurant every fortnight.

Revenge can be bitter sweet, but if u sit back and watch, KARMA can be pure entertainment.

That's too much
you need to visit some of TK's famous food banks to lower your bills Guests are leeches and free loaders and should be kicked out ASAP
Some of em are free loaders indeed... It takes a year to isolate such characters though.

The logical followup question being, "How has your bowl movement changed since moving to Canada?".
