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
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.
