The average employee returning to the office spends $561 per month–that's the average two-person household’s grocery bill in the U.S. for the entire month.
we do around 240ish a month for 3 by buying bulk. we've been even lower before when all we did was drink milk and eat rice, beans, and potatoes when we were even poorer
Let's see... that's about $9 per person per day, which is still excessive especially if that's supposed to just be groceries and doesn't include buying prepared food somewhere which would easily double it if it's a daily thing, but it's also less than I was expecting.
I mean I live on $1-2 worth of food a day on average, living mostly on beans, rice, ramen, tofu, potatoes, and the occasional egg, but I had the impression that the typical American diet was, like, full of overpriced junk food that's high calorie but also comparatively more expensive per calorie than food cooked from raw ingredients.
561 for a two person household? Wtf we live way cheaper Jesus, these people high on the hog
That's around 140 a week for two people, which is incredibly easy to do if you buy name brand anything. Shits expensive these days.
