My wife and I average $800-$1000 monthly on groceries for just us. Live in metro ATL. We cook a lot and mostly go organic on produce and certified humane on proteins, which is worth the extra cost to us. That said though, is this an insane amount to spend on groceries?! What do you spend?

I've read through every one of these threads and used the observations / advice I've seen here paired with my own research to get "into the game." It seems like Ripple, Monero, Gnosis, and Golem are the ones worth being in outside of the "big 3" (not MBB). I also bought $1000 worth of ethereum at $210 yesterday because I thought that was a good price, but it's only continued to fall... is that a long term hold or should I convert it to Gnosis or something else?
