Interested in how much others spend on food per month and what that breakdown looks like between at home or ordering out.

My husband and I have no kids and order/go out very rarely, maybe once a month, and our grocery bill for just the 2 of us has risen to around $750-$800 per month this year.

It's starting to feel very unreasonable to spend so much despite not wasting much. I do buy mostly produce but not always organic, and very little meat.

Inflation has raised prices in general. But also are you shopping at the mid/higher end grocery stores? I’ve found ~20-30% difference between if I opt for the budget box grocery store vs. the nicer grocery store. Also if you plan your weekly meals around what’s on sale that week, that helps too.

You know what this might be a lot of what I'm missing now that I think about it. We've always shopped at a lower-mid store and continue to for the most part, but there's also a high end store right next to us in the new house and we go there for one-off stuff we've forgotten or when we just want something different mid week. I think I wasn't paying attention to the increase in each and every item and just looked back for this year and was taken aback by the cumulative change.

I spend ~$700 just on myself so you’re fine. I buy only organic and high quality proteins. I have health issues that are impacted and maintained by eating clean/healthy so it’s worth it to me

Same. My already-high grocery bill has gone up since I started dieting (tons of produce!) but I feel great.

I spend over $400 on myself buying only organic or farmers market food. Not a lot of meat at all, but it adds up also considering I avoid gluten and get stuff like brown rice pasta
