Hit $50 a week for groceries and shocked myself

I finally tracked every food dollar for a month and landed at exactly $49.67 per week for just me. How low have you guys actually managed to get yours without feeling like you're starving?

Wait is this really that deep? I spend like $80 a week and feel fine. Are you actually eating full meals or just rice and beans every day? I mean props for tracking it but going that low usually means you're skipping stuff like fresh veggies or good protein. Could be you just live somewhere with cheap food though. Different areas have totally different prices so this number isn't universal by any stretch. Not trying to knock it but I'd rather spend a little more than obsess over $50.

Same here @ryanprice, I'm at $75-85 a week and still eating plenty of fresh stuff without overthinking it.
