Omnivore male who’s been compared to a garbage disposal before…

$100 a week is the average. Tend to do bigger and smaller trips so one week 70 another week 120. But $400 a month is pretty spot on.

Nothing terribly fancy for the most part. Try to limit the processed crap too. But it adds up quickly.

Eggs are cheaper at target and Walmart than the grocery store. Target has 18 eggs for $4 and ShopRite has the same eggs for $9.50

Also online shopping is how I budget my grocery trips and it’s been a blessing. Meat and produce items, rice and pasta, and bread. I do online through ShopRite. Any hygiene products or paper I do target curbside. They have constant deals where you get gift cards just for online shopping through target. I needed soap, buy 3 cleaning products get a $10 gift card. K don’t ask me twice!

Good luck everyone. It’s rough out there right now

Spending about 100 dollars per person, per week in our house, maybe a little less. Buying monster sizes really helps if you can afford it up front. For instance a 32 roll Ultra Soft Tp at Bj's is $20. These make a big difference over time. If you have a hard ass you can get the 36 roll for $16.50. While you pay more up front, it really saves in a budgeting situation because of the amount you receive.

Reply to Any EWR parking hacks? by thebusiness7

you can purchase parking in advance online to save $. usually the economy lot is the best deal, but sometimes, parking deck is available at the same discounted price. the shuttle buses to the economy lot run pretty frequently.

depending on length of trip, car service might end up being cheaper than parking.

Single guy, living alone. Where I buy my grocery varies depending on what I want to eat but I make a lot of stir fry. I spend about 100-120 a week on grocery. Chicken Thighs saves lives!!! I also do go out maybe 2-3 times a week so add maybe 40-50 dollars on top of that

I buy huge rolls of paper towels and toilet paper, I look at how many sheets I can get off one roll. Huge scott roll and bounty last me about 2 months

Do you have the app? They have all the info there, you can easily buy tickets, save favorite trips/stations, etc. It takes me maybe 10 seconds to buy and activate a ticket :)

A tip - when looking up the schedule, the day of the week matters, but week to week generally doesn’t unless there’s a holiday. In case you get an error, use this tip.
