How to divide food bill with roommate?

I’m a college student and I will be sharing an apartment with a friend of mine. We both will be recieving about $200 a month to buy food. To make things easier we are planning on cooking together and sharing food. What is the best way to divide the food bill between the two of us? Should we take turns paying the bill at the grocery store? What about things that we only buy for ourselves?

Take $150 each and put it towards the common food bill. You each contribute to the list of items to buy and you each consume the food. As for the extra $50, you can buy personal food items and label them or keep them in you your room or something. Take turns shopping for the food, because that can really be a pain if one person has to do it all the time.
