$35 ~ $75. I shop reasonably for one person and that person is me. I don’t understand why people spend so big when they’re the only ones living at home.
Is that per month or per week? Unless you work in a restaurant, have your own (large-ish) garden, or have chickens or something, I’m not sure how anyone in the West lives on $35 a month without living on ramen, rice and beans.
No, not per day, that’s costly for me. Not per week either. I just know what I cut out that simplifies my shopping.
I don’t go and buy snacks, for example. Do I really need fruit juice? No I don’t, because that shit is unhealthy for you. Do I really need crackers? No. Do I really need to buy tons of frozen processed foods? No, but it is moderate.
Plus the real thing is, is that I do make meals from pasta dishes. I make that last.
Wait - that’s a monthly cost? Are you in the US? $35/month is definitely not possible in any US state unless you’re supplementing with another food source. Even if all you eat is a box of pasta and can of sauce a day I’d be shocked if you could stay at $35 and definitely that’s nutritionally questionable.

You can stretch your meals and if you decide to, pile on the rations. It’s not that hard.
Per day? Thats reasonable I guess. If that’s per week im questioning where you live for it to be so cheap.
