    400$ for groceries per month for a single person sounds surprisingly high, especially if they’re trying to live frugally.

      Have you bought food recently? I guess I live in area where the only thing that grows well is corn so anything fresh has to be freighted here but man good food ain’t cheap and cheap food ain’t good.

        Yes I’ve bought food recently. I don’t sustain myself with just air based diet, at least not yet.

      I feed a family of 4 on close to $300 a month (but I budget $400/mo) a single person can absolutely do better than $400/mo

        Looking at the votes I think many disagree. I was assuming the person in OP was American and compared to where I live food is a lot cheaper there. Maybe there’s something I’m not understanding how American grocery budgets work.

        The devil’s lettuce will bloat up your snack budget. Might even waste money on candles and an Indian themed wall flag of some sort. Terrible for the budget.
