We (two people) spend maybe $600/month maybe $700 at most and eat pretty large meals. When we eat meat, it’s usually chicken or fish and we buy it at costco and keep it frozen until we need it. Most of the groceries we buy at the store are fresh produce or dairy/eggs/oat milk. We very rarely buy steaks, frozen foods, and prepared foods from the grocery store (except rotisserie chicken).

We usually plan out 2 meals a week that will last 2-3 nights each and then eat out or order in 1 night. Planning out meals and eating the same things for a few nights probably helps keep costs low.
