If your house number was your monthly grocery budget, how would you be faring? What is something you absolutely must buy with that budget? Mine is 104. I’d be in trouble, but I would go for the meat aisle and get some hamburger.

[dutchgirl]

Let's just say it's only 2 digits. (I think I give too much personal info on this site!)


I think I’d get chocolate and wine.

[all41]

Lobster and filet mignon with champagne 5 nights a week.

[1956BD]

I would be able to eat out with my husband every night!

[arsabl]

More than my paycheck! I couldn’t eat that much!

[luvmycat]

I’d have a personal chef who shopped the main city nearby at markets for fresh meats and veggies daily. I’d have a well stocked wine cellar too.

[mhugs]

Just for the two of us would be way more than adequate. Fancy steaks and tons of fresh fruit and veggies.

[cruxian]

Lord have mercy. I’m enjoying thinking about how to spend my $7000 budget. I think I’d hire my colleague to cook for me. He’s quite the chef! I think I’d change where I shop to go to the fancy grocery stores and buy organic.

[juliet4]

What can I get with nine dollars??

[annie_g]

I would be eating like a queen!

[sportsmom88]

431 I might finally thin down, lol.

[CK2]

Whaaa-?!? Mine is five digits! I can’t imagine. I’d start by hiring a personal chef and someone to keep the kitchen clean. Such luxury.

[Teddi9192]

I’d be slipping 9/10 of my budget into my pocket and we would still dine like royalty.

[nucleus]

I'd have over 1300 dollars! Can I just hire a chef to make dinner daily? I know he/she wouldn't do it for all three meals, but one maybe. Maybe I'd do a meal program of some sort.

[teachnkids]

I have 4 digits! I'd be eating well!

[GraceKrispy]

LMAO, my house number is in the 5-digits (over 15,000), so I think I'd have a lot of left over food! Even for the 5 of us, that would be way too much food. It would actually probably last us 8 years. Or we could eat out like kings for a year

If this comes to pass, you're all invited to my house for dinner!

Anyone want to volunteer to cook the food I'll pick up?

[emgirl]

We have five digits so I guess we would love like kings 😂😂😂

[SusaninNJ]

Food bank for us.

[klarabelle]

I can't imagine what I would buy with this money. Maybe do a diet meal plan.

[crazy4catz]

Mine would round up to 8000. I would hire a chef for sure.

[Izzy23]

Ramen. 30 days of Ramen.

[cvt]

Mine is in the 4 digits and let's just say that one month would represent my annual grocery expenditures.

[linda2671]

We could buy bread If it was on sale, but no peanut butter to go with it.

[MKat]

Mine is 5 digits, but at least the first number is 1! Like others in that boat, I'd be living the high life that's for sure! But can you imagine if your first number was 9 with 5 digits???

[twinmom95]

431 I might finally thin down, lol.

I'm 414 and that would be plenty for us. :-) but it's just two of us. I'm not sure what I spend on groceries, but it's not that. Even before the pandemic I didn't go on a regular schedule, but when I needed to ( not a chore I enjoy!) I usually don't spend more than $100 a couple times a month plus small trips.( which I hate doing even more, haha)

[Cat woman]

If it was just food I believe we would be ok, but paper products and cleaning supplies would put us over the top.

[grade2rocks]

Ha! During this time, our food spending has gone up-up-up. So my three digit number probably isn't too far off of my actual spending, unfortunately.

[Youthcantknow]

I'd starve, and pretty quickly, too!

[rana712]

2765

I would be hiring a cook! We'd be having incredibly fancy food 3 times and day and would have to host some parties.

[WordFountain]

...um... rice and beans. Some essential dairy. I’m thinking we’d become unintentional vegetarians Maybe ration a seed packet here and there to eventually grow my own veggies. Probably a food bank too.

This is a great perspective. There’s probably a lot of people that are making some really hard decisions now and my family and I are really blessed that we can buy groceries easily.

[laurathy]

I'd be spending more in a month than I made in a year at my first teaching job in 2003.

[MKat]

. Mine is quite a bit over my annual salary when I started teaching!

[SusanTeach]

It would be great!!! I can't even imagine spending that much on food, but I can honestly say it would be fun to try!
