Am I overspending?

[Waa-Aniga]

So roughly more or less I spend anywhere from 90 bucks up to 160 per week on food. That's grocery shopping and takeaways. My addiction to takeaway isn't going away.

Not frugal but also not outrageous. Some people spend like $200 on coffee alone and others spent $200 the entire month. You fall somewhere in the middle. Obviously you could save some money if you’re spending $160 every week but I think it’s reasonable depending how much you’re making a month.

What? If you’re living alone, you shouldn’t spend more then $150-$200 a month on food unless you have a high income.

That’s true but it’s only possible if you cook at home all meals which can be difficult esp if you work outside the home full time.

Prep your meals at home and carry them to work.

200 US dollars a month. That's about $50 per week that's impressive if you can stick to a budget of 50 bucks US dollars which is about $70 if converted to my currency.The thing is if i pick up 1kg of suqar meat thats almost 20 dollars, that leaves $50 bucks for everything it will be a squeeze but doable.

We have a store franchise in the US called “Aldi” where they sell everything for insanely cheap (good, quality organic food too) however it’s the offbrand versions.

We don't have aldi. They are all rip off.

I’m the same way. Despite having a cook I still spend about 600-700 dollars a month on takeaway food. I need to stop and eat more healthy.

lol dude wth are you spending 400 hundred on? Am not judging. I just tallied last months spending on food only which was 440 for me. Am appalled at so much wastage.

That $160 you spend in a week is how much you should spend in a month on food.
