[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What on earth are you buying? We shop at WF (supplemented by Costco for things that aren't available at WF) and spend $500/mo but are a family of 4.[/quote]

Now tell us how often you eat out/takeaway. Because I fail to believe you're feeding four people three Whole Foods meals a day that each cost less than $2.

[b]I made spaghetti once and made the mistake of buying everything at WF. That one meal cost $86[/b].[/quote]

I make spaghetti all the time. There’s no way you spent more than $20 even if you made everything from scratch.

I read this yesterday and the $86 was too high.   Likely $8.60 based on WF actual prices for 4 adults.

We're at 800/month including stuff like paper towels etc. Mega amounts of fresh produce and unprocessed food.  It could go down to 500-600 just by flipping some seafood, removing specific brands of junk food [no substitution], no specific brands.   No diaper or incontinence product ages needed for 3.75 adults [added .75 since some here partially].  Excludes alcohol and stuff for take to work lunch.  WF can have lower price points than standard grocery stores on certain items or specific brands.

Before the WF  fee we used to get some deliveries and spend less even with the tip than a actual drive to store [price points and better cash back].  WF was always food only. That $9.95 for a 2 hour window means no WF unless the total would still be cheaper.  If you need a 1 hour window it's $14.95.
