or $500 a month line item for household food budget
that does not include dining out (of course)
it is basically $125 per week in groceries
if i spent that much it would be all organic and gourmet type stuff (beef short ribs and oxtails and lamp chops)

i can get it down to $80 skimpinng here and there

if i went to $50 a week we'd be eating very unhealthy EBT style (rice a roni, boxed mac n cheese, minute maid OJ instead of Tropicana etc)

i think i avg $100 a week in groceries


but ol boy was spending $9,000 to $14,000 a year on food for one person if he spent that much weekly/monthly in a year's time
