Cost of groceries in America
Can I just say holy sh*t groceries are ridiculous! Over $400 just to buy enough food for a month for my 18 year old daughter and I! And this doesn't even count our Thanksgiving feast! I buy all fresh foods. I do NOT eat junk food. Had I bought junk, I could have easily bought a month's worth of food for $200 or less. No wonder America is so unhealthy! But at least we'll eat good!

I'm not sure how you managed to spend $400 for groceries on one person. I budget $100-200 on groceries every month. A bag of rice for a few months is $20, fresh vegetables are usually $3-6 every few days, and chicken/sausage/meat every week costs ~$10. The math is $20+15*$3+4*$10=$105 for lunch/dinner Breakfast is more involved about $3/week for milk, $3/week for bananas, and $8 for bread/pasteries/cereal. $3+$3+$8*4=$56 Total $56+105= $161 That leaves something extra for whatever else suits my fancy. I live in the suburbs near chicago and near an aldi and marianos. I know my grocery costs are way lower than people that buy in downtown cities.

My father cooked some meat and I lightly boiled a little bit of broccoli with gochujang. For a person who doesn't often cook complicated things my broccoli doesn't look all that bad.
Meat is pretty decent, broccoli is also properly cooked (has that slight chew as an Al dente pasta would have) and gochujang ties everything nicely. Meat is pork but a kind of unique cut because there is three kinds of meat in this one piece of meat. P.s. I seem to have a little bit of a problem... (edited) read more
