BUT, I'll bet if you do a month's tabulation of EVERYTHING the two of you eat you will get closer to our $600 for 2.

Trust me: when you write it ALL down, it's higher than you thought.

Anyone who doubts me should try it for July. All it takes is a couple sheets of paper.

Well it's easy for me to track my food spending because we're on food stamps and since I work, we only get slightly over $200 for 2 people. We don't go over that and spend cash on groceries by more than a couple dollars, and we don't eat out more than 1-2 times a week (spending $5 MAX each time) so I know we're not over $250.

I spend upwards of $800 a month on food. The most direct contributions are:
$200 / Groceries (Fresh Direct)
$600 / Eating out and Seamless web

I'm single and either order-in or eat out 90% of the time. I don't budget, clip coupons or shop in bulk.

Billy, I have no idea how you do it, but good for you.

Are you paying for other people's meals?
