That's not at all crazy. Spending 600 euros or dollars monthly on food for a single person is actually quite reasonable—as another commenter pointed out, it's about 20 euros per day for all three meals.
In my experience, "moderately expensive" restaurants (I don't actually go to what I'd term "very expensive" restaurants) come in at $40-50 per plate. That means that just for dinner, if they were going to very expensive restaurants every day they'd be paying roughly twice what they quoted.
- jefftk 5y agoThey said they were talking about "grocery costs", and later clarified it was groceries only [1], which is very different from restaurant prices. For comparison, our household (US) spends ~$200/person/month on groceries (also with very little eating out). Food here in the US is cheaper, and we aren't mostly buying organic, but we are using Instacart. I'm also surprised they are getting such a large number.
