[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]$50 for one person and this is a dilemma? On aveage I spend $35 per person for our family and I don't even consider shopping for economy. $50 for one person hardly warrants resorting to a menu of rice and beans! [/quote] But, there are economies of scale when you're cooking for more people, and it sounds like OP is used to shopping at whole foods, and I'm just assuming that OP doesn't have the pantry full of food that many of us who are cooking for families have. $50 for 1 is definitely doable, but if someone isn't used to having a food budget, she would need to be careful not buy a couple expensive ingredients that will blow the budget (or a couple lbs of cherries that end up costing $!2).[/quote]
