   @Printdevil @uoou @sinvega Yeah, you're absolutely right.

   Again, shopping for 4+ and we while get a lot more fruit and veg, this looks like almost as much as we bring home and very off for one person

   There's three packets of cereal (Shredded Wheat, Weetabix, oatmeal) there for a start.

     I shop for 4 people and I don't think my weekly really looks like that. Maybe I get more more protein, but there's a lot of food there.

     @sinvega Yeah for sure. And yeah it's about 4x what I spend on food. If I *could* I'd spend that much. But not that volume.

     @uoou I figure it's a rolling thing, so the mayonnaise one week stands in for more milk the next or a pizza or whatever

     but even if those are one offs.... that's a lot? ;'(

     @sinvega If that's for one person its insane. I mean aside from anything else who eats an entire jar of mayonnaise in a week.

     But yeah I'm a fellow poor.

     (CW lots of food in photo)

     i have found on a unrelated site, a "weekly shop" for one woman, used as the basis for their (very welcome, since regardless of the amount, its consistency works as a relative measure of price changes) price tracker

     this is... this is WAY TOO MUCH, right? For a WEEK? I know I'm poor as shit but WHAT
