I live in Portland, Oregon, which has high COL and high food costs, and just checked my actuals (not estimates). Total spend for the last 2 months was $1263 for my wife and I. That’s $315.75 per month per person, and we buy a lot of organic food and produce. However due to Covid that was only including 1 restaurant meal both months, the rest was prepared at home. I think you are spending far too much on food, probably because of restaurants. Do you have something like Mint where you can see your spending by category and dig into this?
