51. Close to $150...
Two adults, one dog, two cats, three rats, and one cockatiel. The rats and cockatiel share some of the leftovers, fresh fruit and veggies. The dog and cats will occasionally get some of the meat and dairy eaten by the humans.
We cook, so most of the food is either fresh or frozen. We are lucky in that we live in California, and there's a local indie grocer who has local meat and produce cheap.
Perhaps two/three "eat outs" - usually between $10 and $20 a week.
Anyone who doesn't count what the critters eat on a weekly basis is cheating - they may only consume about $40 a week between the seven of them, but that's still $40 a week.
