LA avocados are actually really cheap because they grow around here lol. But on the real if you’re going to Ralph’s/Vons/Trader Joe’s I didn’t really notice a major price difference between them and my grocery stores back in the Midwest. However if you’re a Bristol Farms/Erehwon/Gelsons type of person then yes groceries can be stupid expensive.
Are you buying the Avocados from the guy next to the 5 of from Whole Foods?
I would avoid Erewhon and Whole Foods and stick with cheaper. I’d budget 300-500 a month depending on how often you go out
There’s zero price different in grocery stores. The difference is more in going out to eat/drink at restaurants and bars. Drinks are $20 and most entrees/apps are $20. Basically everything is $20 and smaller portions 😀
All of the above 😂 though I’ve only really been to the nicer/more expensive places so far and I miss just going out to a casual bar where the drinks aren’t crazy expensive
Gas is the expensive part
I mean…Whole Foods can run you $150 a week if you’re cooking you meals regularly. If you like farmers markets I’d say maybe $100 but you’ll def be needed to supplement at a grocery store for stuff you can’t get there. I shop at Whole Foods but I’ve been trying to avoid it. Love farmers market but again you gotta be cooking your meals weekly otherwise stuff rots quick and it a waste of money. If you’re into that green lifestyle peep out Zero Grocery which is a little pricey but man do they source veggies, meats, prepared dips, salsas, etc right. Whenever possible I stick with Zero (no plastics, all packaged in sustainable packaging) plus a little WF or FM where needed. Oh price! I mean…$500 min monthly but truthfully speaking more like $750+. I don’t have kids guys! Must find joy and fulfillment through my stomach. Also, Italian.
Couple.
Groceries - $100 weekly for a couple if you mostly do TJs and Ralph’s, occasionally WF
Drinks/going out - $150 a weekend? Lol really depends the kinda weekend you’re tryna have
Restaurants - $100 weekly but also depends how much you cook/where you live
Gas - $40-90 weekly depending on your car
That being said, if you budget really well you can still have an enjoyable life if you mostly cook & go out just once a week
