I got laid off a while ago so I’m trying to make my dollars go farther. When I had a well paying job, I’d also buy more stuff, but nothing too crazy. I miss hummus the most, I think. I never buy soda.
The other day I was with someone and we decided to order food like old times, and it was like $40 for two of us. I was like, fuck, that’s a third of my whole month’s budget right there. But I don’t want to live like a monk all the time.
Seperate from groceries, ordering out has gotten crazy fucking expensive. Literally doubling in cost in just the past 5 years or so. Insane shit. I haven’t bought even fast food for myself in probably 2 years at this point.
My monthly food bill is around 150$ since I’ve gotten slightly more financially stable - no more surviving on ramen and cereal! I can buy good bread, fruit, corn, frozen chicken, and cheese. Life is good.
Soda was always a non-negotiable purchase, since I’m an addict, but buying on sale helps. It’s not like it goes bad quickly, after all.
My monthly food bill is typically around $120.
