If you're single and no kids, it's very doable. Considering this person prefers an active lifestyle, they probably don't spend money on junk food.
Eggs, milk, bread and some vegetables and maybe some fish. Add some soap and hygiene every once in a while then about 50 sounds about right.
My average was around 25 bucks with about a trip every 4 or 5 days or so unless some kind of splurge is added.
Salmon is 9 dollars a pound at Aldi's milk is 2 bucks eggs are like 2-3.
Deodorant is about 3-4 dollars. Protein powder is like 2 dollars a serving at Aldi's if I remember right?
Anyways when I go to Aldi's I usually spend about fifty and that lasts a few days. I have three people in my house though and a growing teen. You can definitely do 50 a week on lean diet that requires you to cook every meal but the more people in the house and the more you work the less this is viable and the more you have to rely on premade shit.
Aldi's is the shit tho. 8 bucks for three pounds of ground turkey goes a long way
Salmon is one of the more expensive fishes. Try something cheaper like pollock, or just buy chicken instead.
Also, no shit your bill goes up when you add more people to the household!
