money is tight between my partner and i, and i’ve been extremely anxious about food expenses. we are both young adults living together for the first time and i’m wondering if $224 for a month is a good number. i’ve been trying to make a budget and that’s what we spent in april. i’ve gotten even stingier since then so it has probably gone down, but i lost track of recent receipts so i’m not sure. i’m pretty good at stretching a penny but i’m not sure what the average food budget looks like for 2 young adults. we shop at international markets a lot.
after bills and rent, we are left with about $700 each month and i constantly get panicky we are spending too much on food if i cave and buy even one nonessential thing. i hope all my hair splitting is paying off. are we doing alright?
