Meh, my household averages about 70/ week with 2 adults and a kid.

This is insane. Props to y’all for pulling it off.

I feel like I’m a good saver and shopper. Eat leftovers often. Don’t go out to eat much.

But just to put your numbers in perspective.. let’s say you consume 40% of that $70/week while your wife and kid consume 60%. That’s just slightly more than $120/month for yourself for all meals. That’s crazy.

Just off the top of my head, I probably spend $20/month on milk at the grocery store, for myself alone. Again, props to y’all. Wish I could save at that level.

There are plenty meals that we cook that end up being about $1 per meal for dinner. Maybe $1.50 if you add some sides


Stir fry chicken or beef
Tacos
Mexican bowls
Grilled chicken w/veggies
Burgers
Pork chops w/veggies

Add in about $0.50 for breakfast (3-4 eggs and 2 pieces toast) then sandwiches or leftovers for lunch and we are easily under $5/day per person
