Grocery Budget? (hexbear.net)
submitted 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) by isame@hexbear.net to c/askchapo@hexbear.net
 

I'm trying to come up with a realistic budget number for groceries. I'm 33 and have a moderately physical full-time job, and I ride a mountain bike on the trails probably 5-15 miles a week, weather and depression permitting. So I'm decently active. What do you think I should expect to spend on groceries every week, if I'm being moderately thrifty?

ETA: Bonus points if you give me a rough idea of what you'd spend the money on.

Wanted to drop an update and thank you again. I bought some lima beans, rice, an onion, green pepper, mushrooms, and some mustard greens. There's some things I'll change next time, but this will definitely put me in a better position food wise. It's really fucking good!
