I can’t don’t understand how people spend so much money on food. Back in pre-COVID times I spent about $15/week on food in college, and now that I’m married I have to try hard to spend $25-$30 per week on groceries. My grocery staples are:

>>bulk rice and potatoes for grains
>>seasonal fruits and veggies from Latin markets (always dirt cheap)
>>onions, garlic, and ginger so that my food has flavor
>>milk for gains
>>B E A N S for S+ tier protein (anti-legume /fit/ fags need not reply)
>>chicken, pork, eggs, and cheeses when the budget allows almost always when they are on sale or a good price at Costco/Sam’s Club. I also buy bulk flour, sugar, butter, and oil so that I can bake when I want bread or a dessert.
