People who spend under $200 on food each month, how do your shopping list and menu look like?
Just wondering. I am a freshman and I did some investigation to find out that $225 is roughly what I need per month without eating out, but I feel like that's a lot compared to many others' budget. I am a big meat lover though I am only getting less than a pound of meat per day with my current budget, and I feel like there's gotta be something economically inefficient about my menu and shopping list. So I'd like to know how you guys get your food with a below $200 budget. Also here's my receipt from Aldi yesterday where I bought a week of food (plus some pantry and seasonings that would last another week or more). Check this out and lemme know what y'all think.
Edit: I am not a Costco member because I'm international and don't have an SSN yet... I have local friends who does have Costco membership but it's inconvenient to shop with them all the time.
