We buy all of our groceries at the local supermarket, with exception of meats and fish. Those we get monthly at either Earth Fare, Whole Foods Market, or The Fresh Market - which is a bit more expensive but much higher quality.

Why am I not surprised by this post?
The first thing that comes to mind though is you are one of the few people I know that own a Ferrari.

In my mind I see AOC as a cannibal after reading this. I also see your wife rolling her eyes at you.

To answer OP's question. My boys are both adults now and no longer live at home. I don't eat dinner. I grocery shop maybe every 2-3 weeks. List usually consists of lots of chicken and steak, pre-packaged salads, whey protein, protein bars, toiletries and cleaning supplies. If the bill is over $100 it's because I splurged on something. I may get takeout for lunch 2-3 times a week but mostly cook the night before so I can eat while I work. (aka bimmerpost) As for a total dollar amount I haven't a clue; rough estimate would be maybe $700ish/monthly and that includes restaurant meals where I'm buying dinner for the girlfriend.
