    That leads to a question that I've been meaning to ask.

    There are two of us in our home, my other half and myself

    Both of us are over 70.
    We don't eat a lot and have a roast or a steak .. once in a while.
    A Long While!

    My problem?
    We can barely get by on $1,000 a month .. just for food!

    My question: Is anyone else dealing with these kinds of food costs?

    How much do most of you spend on your groceries per month?
    (My #1 question)

    We are actually surviving on frozen dinners like marie callender's and Stouffer's.
    (Both really do have some good selections!)

    Problem is, after a while you get in a cycle of boring dinners.

    The same meals over and over again and Not just with the frozen meals!

    It's everything!

    Once you pass the 70's in age, you've damn near run out of choices of foods that you haven't already eaten hundreds of times!8(

    If you're eating pre packaged frozen dinners a lot, there's where your food bill is rising, those things are expensive, you can prepare a spaghetti dinner, for a lot less than one Marie Callender dinner, plus you'll probably have left overs for the next day.

    We probably spend less than half of what you spend a month on groceries, because we keep a well stocked freezer and pantry and just need to replace a few basics monthly........and lately, we haven't been eating that much.

    It's true, it's cheaper to buy and prepare fresh food, than the pre packaged foods.

    Since I'm in Brazil and have an advantage of using dollars at a 1 to 5 ratio, I really can't give a meaningful comparison.
    I find food here to be a very reasonable commodity. We also have more natural food selections.
    We cook our beans and do not use canned products much. Some of the vegetables and fruits we eat are home grown.
    We do eat out at a fraction of what it would cost in the USA.

    I don't mean to be gloating ..... it's just what I have been experiencing for the year and a half that I've lived here full time.

    @Abbey

    Abbey, the frozen dinners are actually only three to three and a half dollars each.
    Two meals for 2 at 6 or 7 dollars is not our problem.

    We don't eat those everyday, they come in towards the months end due to money.

    We do have lots of home-made meals but that is where we start running out of ideas for different meals.

    And if you compare costs, frozen meals can and do compete with home-made.

    Stouffers has a great salisbury steak and gravy meal that is Excellent and gives us two days of dinners.

    Bob Evans mashed potatoes are as good or better than any home-made.

    Two days, two dinners for around twelve dollars can't be beat.
    (Don't poo poo Stouffer's or Bob Evans until you try them. Darn near as good as restaurants)

    Marie Callender's chicken pot pies for $3.50 are huge and are made with real chicken.
    (Enough pie to fill up anybody)

    Most of Callender's foods are real and not bi-products.

    Nope, our problem is not caused by frozen dinners.

    It's prices!

    wife and I both over 75 spend between $600-$800 per month but we eat out 2 day a week always...generally about $120-$140 additional per week, we don't drink alcohol so dining out is reasonable for us.

    we eat very little beef , we mostly eat chicken or lean pork, fish and lot's of salads.

    The funny thing is the guy is skinny, so he doesn't eat a lot of food

    So these Rich F*ckers don't even pay for their own food WTF!!!!

    I like to know where all of that money is going, I'd suspect he is bribing people with the extra money "For Food"
