[@mecanuktutorials6476]

@@lmmm1459 it probably depends on where you live but an average family of 4 could live off $500 per month in groceries. I’m assuming each semester is probably 4 months.

If each meal is $7 and they eat 3x a day, that’s $21 a day…..where on earth can you buy a week’s worth of groceries for $21?! Or do you mean what they pay per week you could buy a week’s worth of groceries?

[@saikyouiku]

@@Kony-2012 I obviously don't eat well because I don't have more money than that to spare. I cook at home, I eat one main meal a day, I make large portions, I use the cheapest chicken I can find (because chicken is the cheapest protein in addition to tofu), and I cook a lot with rice, pasta and potatoes. Fresh produce is nonexistent, and I at most buy a couple of bananas and a pound of cherry tomatoes a week... rounding up to around $4. With the current prices cucumbers are a luxury, for example. Can't afford to pay for those. Potatoes are $1 for 2 pounds, the chicken I normally buy is $2.65. Together just those two will last me 3 or 4 dinners - half a week. So far that's around $8 spent in a week. Another 3-4 dinners would probably cost me another $5. That leaves me $8 to spend on bread, butter, milk, oats etc., that I can eat for breakfast or later in the day as a snack. If things really turn south, there is a single brand of pasta you can buy 400 grams with just 25 cents, which is a massively good deal. It has crappy nutritional value, obviously, but you won't starve.
