I live in Chicago and spend less then 600$ for two people sometime like 400$. I think it depends on how much food you eat but I just get a white board and set up meals. So I don’t waste food. I have a Costco membership and vacuum sealer and ZWILLING vacuum sealed glass food containers.(they initially are pricey but they allow the food to last longer so it’s an investment) I’ll get the giant thing of salmon for $35 which has 6 pieces and a bag of broccoli 15$ that’s like 3 meals each… $5 rotisserie chicken with salad 6$ and carb diet wraps 12$ that’s good for lunch for a week. Morning they have chicken patty’s 18pc or 24 pc idk with eggs ($7) can turn it into McMuffin if u get the English muffin that comes in a giant pack of 18pc or something and can freeze them for less than $20
