For those of you living in NYC — does it sound about right to be spending around $400 a month for two people on groceries? Or is that low/high?

Added context, mostly eating breakfast, lunch, and dinner at home (except for weekends optionally eat out)

+1 on insanely low responses. $200/month per person in NY and you all mostly eat at home is wild to me

That’s very good imo, I typically spend at least double that in a month where I’m actually cooking What kinds of groceries do you buy and where do you usually shop?

Sounds low. Especially if you’re eating out. Ig just eating in could be doable rice beans pasta and veggies.

Yeah that’s insanely low. Easily spend 3x - 4x that for two people when not eating out

Absolutely doable. But you have to be intentional and you better live close to an affordable grocery store; this is harder to come by than you might think. A lot of groceries get purchased at local stores that are small and pricey due to convenience. Like, “oh we just need some milk, eggs, butter, and a few vegetables” if you grab a bag of chips too then say goodbye to $40

Low for sure. We buy from expensive butchers + farmers markets + costco and spend closer to 800-900m

That is exceptional. When we’re being good that number is $1200 combined eating out + groceries for me and my wife. Even normalized for me eating like 2 people that’s about $400/person
