Reply to comment by questionsbecause in What do you spend per month on groceries in DC? by questionsbecause

OP idk how everyone else is so low but we also spend about 800/mo on food for two people. Shopping primarily at Safeway, WF only for specific items. Between breakfast lunch and dinner 7 days a week we are struggling to keep costs down. Maybe we need to hike to Aldi too!

Safeway (at least by DuPont) is soooooo expensive. Like even worse than Whole Foods I think. I went for a box of Frosted Flakes - it was like 7.50! Compared to like 4 at Walmart or 5 for a cereal at Whole Foods

I was starting to feel crazy lol. Guessing you also buy meat/fish frequently?

I feel like between fresh fruit, veggies, and eggs (eggs are killer)… fish, yes. Killer!

Good fish is 10.99/lb on deal. Great fish is closer to $20/lb which I refuse to spend.
