How many people for how long does that feed? Unless you want to starve on ramen noodles every day or eat only rice, I too don't see how you're getting away with less than $100/week per person.

We spend the same amount for 3 people, 1 is vegetarian. It definitely buys enough meat, veggies, baking supplies and snacks for the kid. No pasta helpers, frozen foods, cookies (make our own), alcohol/soda. No ultra-processed stuff, just a variety of healthy ingredients with spices for each meal.

That's a month for two people.

What kind of psychopath only goes to the grocery store once a month?

How does your produce last that long

[–] Alexstarfire 1 points 5 months ago

Some stuff lasts for a long time, most of the time. Onions, carrots, potatoes, peppers, celery, etc. Leafy stuff lasts a couple weeks at most but usually less. That said, it's obviously not in the best condition by the end, but it is still edible.

And frozen/canned goods, rice, beans, and pasta.

Most groceries only have a shelf life of about a week.

So if you’re only going once a month, either you’re throwing a lot away, or just getting processed, shelf stable stuff that’s in general low on nutrients and overpriced.

Most groceries last longer than what people think. Might want to take a look at my other comment about this.
