I just cook for myself and tend to make the same types of things: pasta, tacos, rice/chicken dishes, burritos, sandwiches, bagels/cream cheese, salads. As for fruit I usually buy things like bananas, apples, and oranges.
How much do you spend on groceries a month?

And what kind of stuff do you usually buy? I've seen topics like this on here in the past, and I guess I don't spend much. For the month I will usually
spend about $60.

I spend way too much. That's only because I still live at home and when I go grocery shopping, i shop for the whole house, not just myself. So pretty much
even though i'm a young single lady I grocery shop like i'm a mom of a family.

How much do you spend on restaurants and fast food each month, though?

I never understand how no one spends any money on groceries for a month. I spend about $75 each time I go to the store, which is once a week.
So I spend about $300 bucks a month, just for me. |

A month, maybe 20-30 bucks?

However much gets put on my EBT card. Sometimes there is still around $20 left at the end of the month. It doesn't get rolled over to the next month which
is a little annoying but whatever...

For my parents and I, I never spend more than $100/month, if that. We all have very healthy diets, too. I don't eat out more than once a month either.

Maybe $100-115 a month. That's just for me. I usually pack a lunch for work and go out for dinner only a few times per month.
