$270 includes everything like Keurig coffee pods, ground beef, and laundry detergent- not just vegetables.
Comment on It is very therapeutic to garden, though.

That’s fair, but the comment above said that they “spend 40 a week on all my groceries at most.”

I spend 1/3rd of that on all of my groceries combined per month. If I was spending that much per week I would be over 1000$ in debt after a single month. Is the average person really that rich? And what food are they buying that they need to spend that much?
This is baffling to me as a poor person.Chef_Boyardee@lemm.ee 7 months ago
I’m thinking that price is per household not person. I hope that’s the case. But I’m seriously impressed that you can swing $90/mo for food. That’s amazing.

That’s cool, I wanted to point out that saying cheap and then a ice point without reference isn’t really helpful because price varies so much.
Also, 270 per week per person!?!? What the fuck, that can’t be true, that’s more than what I extrapolated it would cost me in the European expensive countries when I visited and went to random grocery stores. As always, the american dream seems to be a scam fetish xD.
