Grocery Budget? (hexbear.net)

I'm trying to come up with a realistic budget number for groceries. I'm 33 and have a moderately physical full-time job, and I ride a mountain bike on the trails probably 5-15 miles a week, weather and depression permitting. So I'm decently active. What do you think I should expect to spend on groceries every week, if I'm being moderately thrifty?

ETA: Bonus points if you give me a rough idea of what you'd spend the money on.

These days, I'm paying about $75-100 per person per week. I usually buy fresh chicken, maybe some salmon if there's any on sale, 2-3 varieties of locally farmed veggies and greens, bread (preferably high in fiber), cheese, and a few cans of chicken, tuna, corn & peas for later in the week.
