Soda is really expensive. Ben & Jerry's is pricey. Gatorade is expensive. Brand name cereal is expensive. Etc... they aren't buying fresh fruit, rice, refried beans, you know, things that are still pretty reasonably priced but don't taste as good.

Man, I buy soda and brand name cereal (store brand tastes like sadness 9/10 times) and still don't hit anywhere close to that.

I can probably give some explanation. We as a household of 3 mainly cooks at home. We get fruits and veggies from costco and farmers markets mainly. The monthly grocery bills are close to 500$ with everything added up. We do try to eat as healthy as possible and cooks majority of the days. A days cooking almost looks like this

  • Breakfast: Eggs/bread/avocado etc
  • Lunch: Rice/Quinoa + salad/stir fry + protein(eggs/fish)
  • Dinner: steel cut oats with yogurt or something similar
  • Some snacks during the day and in the evening
  • Coffee(homemade to reduce cost)

Almost everything adds up. Asparagus is almost 5$ a bunch. Spinach adds up to 4$. Milk is close to 7$. At the end of month when we tallied up, it was close to 500$. I dont think we are actually eating that much or even buying a lot of junk. Post covid has been a ride

I mean, that's three people though, not 500$ PER person.
