People who are single/live alone, how much a week do you spend on groceries, food, and alcohol? I feel like I average around the $100 mark and not sure if that’s reasonable.

I usually spend that just for weekend meals/alcohol... what are your meals- McDonald’s dollar menu paired with Trader Joe’s wine?

Now I see why you are all single and live alone. 😳 Live a little. Saving for retirement is pointless if nobody loves you when you’re 80

What do you buy at a grocery store for $30 that lasts you for all your meals for the week? Ramen noodles for breakfast lunch & dinner?

I made a rule for myself to not go out and buy food unless I’m enjoying someone else’s company. Too many times I would go out to eat or buy take out after a long day in the office. I keep a budget for that now of $100 a month. Will increase it once I pay off debt

$100 on groceries alone, easily. If I eat out add an extra $50-$100 depending.

I usually spend ~$50/week on groceries—- Less if my team charges through a lot of meals. Then about another $30-40 if I go out with the SO for date night over the weekend. No alcohol budget atm

$150ish. $50 on groceries and $100 on eating out. I typically eat out for lunch everyday but I’m about to cut back there just to save some $ and hopefully lose some weight

We spend $150/ week for 2 people which includes going out on either Friday / Saturday

$150-$200 depending on if I go out or not

I try to keep it around $50 a week on groceries, yes for all meals throughout the week. Maybe $200 or so on going out a month.

$150 a week for my wife and I since we shop at whole foods. We eat out once a week at a good restaurant ($40 to $80).

Director interview after super day?

Had a super day last week and I thought it went well, partner sent back a nice message to my thank you note. Trying not to read too into it, but is it normal to have an interview with another director after having already interviewed with a director (and a MD)?

I did mention I have interest in a specific area with a director last week and it looks like this next director I’m interviewing primarily works in that area.
