[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are pretty frugal, don't have a huge income, and I'm impressed you're making it on $700 a month all in. Our grocery bill has crept up from $100 a week in 2020 to around $150 for a family of 4.

We tend to eat out/get takeout fairly rarely, mainly when traveling to visit relatives or doing something with friends, probably averages out to once a month. But we also do more occasional adult date nights with dinner (like once every 2-3 months), a couple of us have regular activities where we throw in $10 for pizza, and we also get ice cream or pizza at the pool a little more often in the summer.

Our total is probably a little more than yours because our grocery bill is higher. But it does definitely feel like other people go out more.

Oh also, never delivery. Too expensive. If we're spending money on food I'm not eating it in my crappy house!

I hate it when people with much more disposable income visit and say "oh let's just get takeout/delivery, it's so much easier, I don't want you to stress over cooking." No thanks, I'd stress out more over spending $200 to feed both our families for one night. [/quote]

We're LMC too and I love my tiny house. I decorated it exactly to my liking. We live close to a downtown and walk to pick up our food ourselves. My house is much more comfortable than the eateries where we pick up our food! I agree with you that paying for deliveries is a waste.
