Seems to me like a whole lot of people* got a whole lot of excuses for spending too much on food. Which is fine, your money, your choice. My point was merely that it's possible to eat well on a grocery bill of that size. Maybe not everywhere and maybe not when you have special dietary needs, but your average family in an average cookie-cutter neighborhood in average suburb can do it, so I see no reason to disbelieve that that is the average a family spends on food.

(*not necessarily posters here and no individual is targeted by this comment, I have no idea who shops in bulk and who owns a chest freezer and I'm assuming those pointing out the downsides of this approach are more about playing devil's advocate than defending their personal habits mmmmkay)
