I’m trying to come up with a realistic budget number for groceries. I’m 33 and have a moderately physical full-time job, and I ride a mountain bike on the trails probably 5-15 miles a week, weather and depression permitting. So I’m decently active. What do you think I should expect to spend on groceries every week, if I’m being moderately thrifty?
ETA: Bonus points if you give me a rough idea of what you’d spend the money on.
I spend about $100/wk, mostly on frozen prepared slop because I hate cooking, though I also get fresh fruit/veggies as well. The extent of my thriftiness is working from a baseline that one meal should be ~$4 and trying to avoid things that cost more than that. That leaves ~$16/wk for snacks, drinks, and whatever else, which is plenty for me.
