What’s the Weekly Grocery Cost for a Family of Six in Bali?

How much does grocery shopping cost in Bali for a family of six? For our family of six living in Bali, we spend approximately $250 AUD per week on groceries. This includes food, toiletries, cleaning supplies, and those midweek top-ups for things we run out of. But this doesn’t include eating out—it’s strictly what we spend to keep our household running. Here’s what’s in our cart: fruits, vegetables, meats, rice, flour—you know, all the essentials. Some average prices you might want to know: 🍞 A loaf of bread: 20k IDR ($2 AUD) 🥛 A litre of milk: 25k IDR ($2.50 AUD) 🥚 A carton of eggs: 30k IDR ($3 AUD) 🍗 Chicken breast: 65k IDR per kg ($6.50 AUD) 🥩 Beef: 150k IDR per kg ($15 AUD) And now, here’s what’s not in our cart most weeks—cheese, cream, butter, or really anything fancy from the dairy section. Those are considered luxury items here, and the prices definitely reflect it! Grocery shopping in Bali has taught us to simplify and adapt, and honestly, it works well for us. What’s the one item you couldn’t live without in your weekly shop? #BaliLiving #CostOfLivingBali #GroceryShoppingBali #FamilyLifeBali #BaliWithKids #ExpatLife #BaliOnABudget #LivingInBali #BaliEssentials

If you’ve ever wondered how much it costs to do a weekly grocery shop for a family of six in Bali, we’ve got some answers. For our family, we spend around $250 AUD per week to keep everyone fed and our home stocked. This budget covers the essentials like food, toiletries, cleaning supplies, and those inevitable midweek top-ups—but it doesn’t include eating out (Bali’s food scene is a different story altogether!).

So, what’s actually in the cart? Think staples: fresh fruits, vegetables, meats, rice, and flour. But to give you a clearer picture, average prices of some everyday items include:

🍞 A loaf of bread: 20k IDR ($2 AUD)
🥛 A litre of milk: 25k IDR ($2.50 AUD)
🥚 A carton of eggs: 30k IDR ($3 AUD)
🍗 Chicken breast (per kg): 65k IDR ($6.50 AUD)
🥩 Beef (per kg): 150k IDR ($15 AUD)

Luxuries like cheese, cream, and butter rarely make it into our shopping because they cost significantly more and feel more like splurge-worthy treats here. Bali’s grocery prices have encouraged us to simplify, and we’re all about finding fresh, local alternatives that fit within our budget.

Living in Bali has been an adventure in not just adjusting our lifestyles but also our shopping habits. While prices are generally lower than in many Western countries, it’s still easy to overspend if you’re craving imported goods or specialty items.

Does this shopping list fit your family’s needs? Head to the markets or local stores to explore and maybe even find your own staples in this tropical paradise. What’s the one grocery item you’d absolutely need every week?
