Coworkers were just discussing how much they spent and it was mind boggling. For just me, I can get buy with 30-50 dollars at the grocery store just fine from Monday to Friday. I tend to spend more on the weekends though. And that’s with me not being economical.

I just don’t get it.

I could spend $100 a week on groceries and gas and be fine. Fresh veggies and meats aren’t expensive.

On myself? Not much at all.
On the wife and kids? I don't want to talk about it.

For myself? About $100. My eyes are always bigger than my stomach when shopping.

We at a family of 4 and spend about $80-$100 a week on groceries. When I was living by myself...... I could get by on $30-$50 & eat really good.

Family of 6 eating Keto isn’t cheap, but I’m also not poor like the majority here.

$100-$150.

I essentially eat carnivore so the variance depends on household supplies.

For Monday through Friday, I usually get banana for the week, sandwich stuff, and la croix, pretty boring

I spent $190 at the grocery store last week because a lot of shite was on sale so I bought it and froze it. That'll last me a month in meat and I'll go pick up a few more fresh veggies for $20 or so in a week or two. If I really wanted to I bet I could do a 30 days eating all my meals cooked at home for not much more than $100

What do you eat for this much. Can’t be anything fresh or home cooked. Must be eating Hungryman frozen dinners

A loaf of bread, sandwich meat, cheese, and condiments will run you $20 alone. And that’s just lunch. Do you ever buy paper towels, toilet paper, ziplocks, soap, etc. or are we counting just food?

Well that's just not correct. You can get a 10 lb bag of leg quarters for like 6 bucks at Walmart. Beans, onions, and potatoes are cheap as shite.

Not seeing how he gets out of there at that price including booze though

You can do it with chicken, fruit and vegetables pretty easily.
