[quote=Anonymous]17:40, I'm pretty good about sticking to a budget. I don't make much and if I overspend on groceries, something else essential has to go. Trust me, if I had more money, my grocery budget wouldn't be $250/mo.

While I do a weekly meal plan, part of what I love about cooking is the grocery shopping and spontaneous spending/choosing something different or new at the store. I used to be a member of a CSA and I really enjoyed having to be creative with things I wouldn't normally have chosen to bring home.

And honestly, I can't imagine spending $10 on a delivery fee every week. That's $40/mo. That's almost a 1/5 of my entire monthly grocery budget! I can see it being a good deal for someone with more money to spend, but for me, it's not worth it.

While I won't have a car, my family does live nearby and I'll most likely be able to borrow one of their cars (or at least snag a ride home) once a month or so. Truly bulky things or visits to places like HMart can be saved for those trips.[/quote]
