So I've recently come to realize I spend over $100/week on groceries, just for one person.

I don't feel like I even buy that much— I get ingredients to make 1-2 meals that last me the week (a salad and 2 protein-based meals, usually on rice), bread, soy milk (close in price to conventional milk here), OJ, and 1-2 desserts/snacks (usually sorbet/popsicles, and something chocolatey), plus I only buy some chicken and beef about once a month.

Is this just normal now? Everyone I talk to says it's way too much cost-wise, but I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. Even when I go to more budget-friendly stores, sure it's cheaper compared to where I usually shop, but still over $100/week.

I feel lost so if anyone has some advice that would be very much appreciated. For reference, I live in Ontario, Canada so prices are in CAD.

I spend that much on groceries a week for myself. It's horrible how bad it is

Where do you shop. My parents spend 150 every 2 weeks for a family of 3

I spend about 400 a month on groceries for 2 people. Add another 200 for the pets. But then again I buy in bulk.

Just today i went and bought 76 USD worth of things, heres all what i got:

2 6packs of bagels

2 redbulls

1 brake cleaner

1 belt dressing

3 Sparkling ciders

1 container of popcorn chicken

1 container of ranch

1 Small tarp (8x10)

and i think thats it... it was CRAZY how overpriced things were, this was at Walmart 😢

one block of decent cheese costs like 22USD where I live... and soon we'll have a shortage of eggs too.
