minus-squareTubularTittyFrog@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up6arrow-down2·edit-21 year agoMy total food bill is almost a $1000. I’m single and live in a city. 65% of it is groceries. Nothing fancy. It costs me $150 a week for the basics. Veggies, few lbs of meat, dairy etc. Could I cut back and only eat rice and canned/frozen foods? Yes. But I want to eat good fresh food. I drop about $50 in produce a week alone.
minus-squarebhmnscmm@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 year agoSo you spend $400/month on restaurants? $150 x 4 = $600/month.
minus-squareThreeme2189@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up4·1 year agoThat lines up with the ‘65% of it is groceries’ part. 35% of almost $1000 is a bit shy of $350. That’s a lot of take out.
minus-squarekalpol@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 year agoThat’s eating out like every other day. I eat out maybe every other week.
minus-squareStaySquared@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up2arrow-down2·edit-21 year agoNo, just over $1100 for the month. This of course includes, ever so often things like cleaning supplies, and toiletries.
