I heard your grocery bills are almost as high as your mortgage? You're not the only one thinking this 🛒

Reddit has recently exploded. A family of seven spends over $1400 a month on food—more than their mortgage. A two-person household spends $150-200 a week on groceries. And there’s a guy from Florida who’s even more incredible, spending only $80 a month on food for himself.

How did they do it? According to USDA data, women spend an average of $242-405 per month, while men spend $303-457. But how do these experts save money?

▪️ That guy who spent $80: Aldi discount store + local vegetable market, stocked up 30 pounds of chicken at $19 a pound, eating the same lunch for a month.

▪️ Family of 7: Costco shopping trip of $1000 (enough rice, flour, oil, and other goods to last several months), planning to plant vegetables in the spring + canning and pickling.

▪️ Two-person household: eggs, fish, rice, seasonal vegetables + batch cooking

The core tips are these: go to discount stores, buy seasonal vegetables, stock up on frozen meat, give up expensive meats (steak, pork), and eat chicken and beans. If you have more time, growing your own vegetables can save a lot of money.

I have a question: which price range is your vegetable money close to?
