Keeping the food budget at bay

How I spend $140 per month on groceries (in an expensive city)

Now, I realize that $140 for the month may sound reasonable or may sound impossible depending on where you live. If you’re cool eating ramen and PB&J most days, then $140 on groceries may seem excessive. The truth is, when I’m trying to pull together a healthy, balanced meal plan, keeping myself under about $35 per week is quite the adventure.
