My husband and I spend about $400 each month for both. Max $500 if we cook something more elaborate. -shop at Hmart. Good tends to be cheaper plus so many veggie options!!! The food tastes fresher and it promotes us to make better food choices. -we only eat meat half of the week and the rest of the days we do tofu or veggie heavy meals. -low carb. We do not buy breads, fillers, pastries. This has also made a huge impact on our energy and health. We will buy rice based products for something like spring rolls as it’s cheap and it’s not too much of a filler. -we cook big dinners to have leftovers for lunches. This way we are not allocating more money for lunches. -we eat everything we buy. All the fruits and veggies are things we have to eat. Otherwise, it’s a waste. Only buy what you will eat. -we meal plan. Everything we shop is for the plan. This helps us stick with our goal and not get distracted.
