A yearly food cost of $4,686 for a single adult w/o children in San Francisco County? Not quite, more like $6,000-7,200 per year or $500-$600/mo.

- EatingWithForks 3y agoI could imagine that as a yearly food cost (a little under ~100/week). I lived off less than that when I was a grad student. It involved very little eating out (which this calculator accounts for) and consuming mostly stews or curries.
- xboxnolifes 3y agoThe food portion is likely quite off for very high cost of living areas. It uses the national average and applies an adjustment factor based on 4 regions: East (1.08), Midwest (0.95), South (0.93), and West (1.11). So, every area within said region has the exact same food costs. Either that, or food costs really are similar within a region if you cook your own food and shop frugally.
