ha...my wife spends more like 500 a week for three of us..boggles my mind but we do eat well
We have a large fridge and absolutely no room for beer, sodas, or water. And it’s just me and hubby here with the occasional grandkid. We have an Aquafina, all glass, grocery store display fridge that I scored from my brother when he sold his motorcycle shop. It’s in our sunroom and that’s where we keep the above items.

That’s not a defect. I have a brother who hates beer and coffee. Everybody fights to sit beside him at gatherings.
I am so blessed and happy to be able to afford better foods than those you list.
And I do give thanks.
$1 for EVOO. No thanks.
My uncle had the frig packed with food. Some was even fresh.......
That estimate is about right. A family will probably need to spend at least $150/week depending on size.
Where the heck does that reporter shop? Looking at my receipts -
ketchup .89
mustard I always get free with purchase of pickle relish or some such but usually less than ketchup
BBQ sauce is another buy something and get it free but is normally $1.
Butter $2.97 never goes on sale
Grapes $1.88 lb
Spinach .88
Zucchini $1.18 lb
Bell peppers .68
3 Romaine $2.64
Carrots - $1.09
Apples - .88
Franks - .69 12 oz pork/chicken/beef/demonrats/whatever
Ground beef $2.16 lb
Chicken breasts $1 lb
“Buy meat twice during the week, as it can spoil in just a few days.” Uh, there’s this neat invention called a freezer so I only have to grocery shop every 6 weeks.
Who buys imported Irish cheese with no calories?
Who stores peanut butter in the fridge?
That picture of the reporter’s fridge is weird.
We have well water from off the river. Best water ever. Have a glass always at my desk. Can’t stand nasty bottled water.
I can’t decide whether to laugh or cry at those make a meal delivery things like Plated and Blue Apron. Good grief. Most are pasta dishes. How bleepin’ hard is it to boil a pot of pasta? The cheapest are $9. My grocery store bought food home cooked meals run $2.50 and that’s without cheap pasta.
Tap water with ice from ice trays.
We shop at Aldo’s for all that stuff. Butter $2.99, mustard .89, ketchup .99, mayo $1.89, bars of cheese 1.79 each. The savings are incredible!
I can’t stand alcohol of any type. Just recently enjoy coffee but it’s really cream with a little coffee and lots of sweetener.
Just because you spend more doesn’t mean it’s better. The same factory that slaps on a national brand label on a can is the same factory that slaps a cheapo off brand label on the same cans.
I see your posts often. You are doing everything right.
God Bless.
Thank you eyedigress.
God Bless You!
Gosh, I’m missing pate, truffles and caviar.
I’ve often heard, however, that keeping eggs on the fridge door isn’t a good idea. Maybe it works for J. P. because he gets them directly from the hens...
Dubliner cheese is awesome. Hummus and mayo are on the list of things going in the trash if the wife dies first.
