Whoa, where do you live that you're spending $1000 a month on food for two?
I love Costco too, but our apartment is too small for storing lots of bulk food items. My wife and I dream of having a bigger kitchen, pantry, and chest freezer someday.
- Cerium 10y agoI live in the California Bay Area. I can't break down the Costco since in the past I have not saved receipts. I estimate that out of that $600 I spent about $50 on beer and wine, and maybe $150-200 on household supplies. I'm working on getting better numbers, since it seems like a lot too, especially when I think about what I'm eating: toast for breakfast, leftovers for lunch, simple dinners. I'd really like to know!
- soulnothing 10y agoI find it really easy to hit that price point. When I was single I was averaging about 250 -> 350 a month. But I offset this by buying chicken in bulk at 40LB increments and that usually lasted me several months. For two right now I'm average about 700 to 800 a month. I have a number of food allergies so ingredients or restrictive. The other half is as close to organic as possible. I'd say the biggest contribution to the price is moving off farm sourcing. I don't have the time right now to process 40lb of chicken, or several cases of produce.
