Honestly curious about what you’re cooking and what, if any, dietary restrictions you’re working with. I’ve got a family of 4 and we’re lucky to get out of a grocery run in less than $150-200.
Wife is celiac and so the house is 98% GF. Once in a while I might grab buns for a hamburger.
Lots of pork and chicken. I’m my local you can buy pork loin or chops in 3-4 lbs portions for like $7. Chicken, especially whole is inexpensive but breasts and thighs can also be bought in 4-5 lb quantities. Produce wise, nothing fancy onions or all types, green beans, ginger, peppers, broccoli, potatoes. We typically have beans of different varieties as well as jasmine and basmati.
You add 30 or so spices, oils, flour, and a few other pantry items as well and you have the ability to do a wide variety of food.
I did exclude gf frozen pizza and bread in my og pricing viewing it as an exception. Yeah that shit is fucking expensive and making your own is 40 different flours and praying to a god for success.
I’m also considering just buying a few pigs each year in bulk but you need space for that which I understand you ain’t getting in a small apartment.

Vegetarian, I edited by first comment explaining that and my grocery picks that week.
Thank you!!! I’ll save your comment and check it out after work. I definitely appreciate knowledge to try to curb these grocery prices
Feel free to hit me up. If there is a community here on Lemmy to post cheap recipes I’m down for sharing them there.
