I have been spending more. I was brought up to eat lots of carbs because they're cheap! I ate quite a lot of cheap spaghetti pre-Atkins, which cost hardly anything for a meal.
At the beginning, I helped myself to stick to the diet by buying more gourmet foods - things like nice cheeses, olives, etc. I've had to cut back a bit on that, so the food bills are getting closer to normal.
I've also noticed that it sometimes costs more to eat out. In an Italian restaurant I'll tend to have something like steak, rather than pizza or pasta, so it does cost more. I did have a pizza last night as I had someone round, but I just ate the topping - which is an expensive way to do it. Wouldn't it be great if we could persuade pizza takeaways to do an Atkins pizza - a great big box full of melted mozzarella, pepperoni, etc?
