My household of 1.5 people has a grocery bill (incl non-food items and pet food) of $165 – $200 month, depending on what is needed for that month. In November and December, that bill is about $225-230 for extra holiday food.
I rarely dine in restaurants and do not eat fast food. So AN’s budget can be done. I have Navy commissary privileges but this budget can work without them …. with a little more footwork.
