    Some stuff you can def grow yourself easily and not have to buy at the store. I don’t have to buy tomato’s all summer just from a few plants. Never buy herbs. But yeah sustenance farming I am not. Support local farmers!

        That’s super expensive… 40 a week for just veggies? I spend 40 a week on all my groceries at most.

            $270 includes everything like Keurig coffee pods, ground beef, and laundry detergent- not just vegetables.

              That’s fair, but the comment above said that they “spend 40 a week on all my groceries at most.”

            That’s cool, I wanted to point out that saying cheap and then a price point without reference isn’t really helpful because price varies so much.

            Also, 270 per week per person!?!? What the fuck, that can’t be true, that’s more than what I extrapolated it would cost me in the European expensive countries when I visited and went to random grocery stores. As always, the american dream seems to be a scam fetish xD.

            I spend 1/3rd of that on all of my groceries combined per month. If I was spending that much per week I would be over 1000$ in debt after a single month. Is the average person really that rich? And what food are they buying that they need to spend that much?
            This is baffling to me as a poor person.
