Where do you live? I’m in central Europe and hit the local currency equivalent of 60$ per person per week…
Comment on It is very therapeutic to garden, though.
fushuan@lemm.ee 4 months agoThat’s super expensive… 40 a week for just veggies? I spend 40 a week on all my groceries at most.

I live in a quite expensive Spanish area and we usually spend 50ish for 2 people’s worth of food. We do go out or order food on the weekend sometimes but being vegetarian we don’t spend more than 15€ on produce a week at most so 40 a week sounds a lot.

Average is $270 per week in the USA.

That’s cool, I wanted to point out that saying cheap and then a ice point without reference isn’t really helpful because price varies so much.
Also, 270 per week per person!?!? What the fuck, that can’t be true, that’s more than what I extrapolated it would cost me in the European expensive countries when I visited and went to random grocery stores. As always, the american dream seems to be a scam fetish xD.

I spend 1/3rd of that on all of my groceries combined per month. If I was spending that much per week I would be over 1000$ in debt after a single month. Is the average person really that rich? And what food are they buying that they need to spend that much?
This is baffling to me as a poor person.

I’m thinking that price is per household not person. I hope that’s the case. But I’m seriously impressed that you can swing $90/mo for food. That’s amazing.
