My wife and I are tiny, so grain of salt and all, but we spend about $450-$500, best guess. We go to Aldi every 3-4 weeks and a big spend there is $225. That includes whatever we want, including a couple of pounds of shrimp.

I shop at Aldi for about half of my groceries, and I spend around $250 total a month for 1 person. That includes buying some pricier brands at Pick n Save. Inflation is certainly real, but if they are spending that much for groceries they are not being frugal.

My wife and I are tiny

My curiosity asks...Just how tiny are you?

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Me, 140lbs., dripping wet, in combat boots. Wife, dunno, 115lbs.? She's packed on a bit of a spare tire.
