How much do you spend on food in a month when you're not traveling? I spend $400 as a single woman and I feel like that's really high.

Lots of chicken, rice, fresh fruits and vegetables. Again if you cook it's just not hard, and if you cook well you will still enjoy your food immensely.

Eating out for one meal is more than several days in groceries. A week if you go to a fancy dinner

Uh Whole Foods doesn't necessarily have to be expensive. If you buy the things on sale and their own food brand, it's sometimes cheaper than shopping at other grocery stores near me.

Kudos to you guys! I feel I spend more money doing groceries when I cook and half of the stuff goes to waste anyway since I'm not home weekdays.
