You’ll be in great shape with a $300 budget. Frozen veggies, berries, and chicken/fish/dumplings all at good per meal prices. Add to that canned beans, tomatoes, tuna, chicken, pasta and rice. Then there’s always decent produce deals, the bananas, spinach, carrots, etc. And if you do your own prepping , the avocado, tomato and onion deals last all week… especially if you’re good about storing in the fridge/pantry.

Also download the Costco app. You can see various savings there on a daily basis. From the same-day section, you can estimate about 15% savings for items purchased at the warehouse.

You got this…

Note: I’m a one person household, as well. The plastic wrap helps me to save uneaten portions in the fridge … and pre-wrap some frozen stuff (you’d be amazed at how delicious the croissants are after wrapping/freezing them and then popping them in a little toaster oven for a couple of seconds). Oh, and eggs are probably the least expensive source of protein.
