• Peanut butter $4
• 5lb bag Sweet Potatoes $6
• Kale bag $3
• pasta sauce $2
• pasta (2lb) $4
• rice (20lb bag lasts us a month) $38.98/30 days so roughly $8/wk
• carrot $.89
• onion $1.09
• ground chicken $4.99 (1lb)
• ground turkey $15.49 (3 lb)
• ground beef $5.99 (1 lb)
• frozen salmon ~18oz $18 (more fresh, lower price than thawed)
• whole cantaloupe $4
• Lactaid (only 1/wk - family has issues with lactose) $8
• oatmeal lasts a decent while, but also cheap $5
• occasionally buy nuts to throw in meals, but it’s more expensive than peanut butter snacks. This would add on most of the price.

Sometimes we drive up to fruit farms/vegetable farms and grab a ton of extras for low cost. Think $1/lb avocados, strawberries, etc. really helps us diversify since they can’t get enough people to harvest it all and sell.

Hope that clarifies any confusion. We don’t buy everything every week, and we eat everything, no leftovers. The full list is closer to $100 than $75.
