    For a family?

    Rice, beans, tortillas, a protein, lettuce, bread, deli meat, seltzer, soda, juice, cereal, milk, eggs, butter, carrots, some berries…

    After 3-4 days I have some rice, maybe 2 slices of bread maybe 2 cans of seltzer left.

    That’s about $100. Misc items (beer, wine, cat food, tooth paste, deodorant, toilet paper) easily bring it over $116 on a very consistent basis.

    That’d last about 3-4 days.

    Where do you live that this seemed strange? I can’t recall spending less than $80 on any trip to the grocery store in the last 2 years or so.
