[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]$1k is a decent budget for a family of 4. Why is this news?[/quote] It’s not that easy anymore. You’re not eating as well on that budget as you’d expect a middle class family to eat (lots of vegetables, meats, a variety of different foods). I could spend that maybe a year ago and we’d eat well, now it’s closer to $1800 a month. [/quote] This is true. I'd say on average a family of four could eat $500 in fish a month, $750 in fresh meat. Average that and you're looking at $600 for just quality meat. Some families do exist on frozen food and processed meat which is cheaper. Maybe $250 a month.[/quote] Do you weigh 350 lbs each? You eat $5/day per person, just in meat? That's about a whole pound. Gross. [/quote]
