That said – not sure if I agree with the answer re: food. I think sometimes eating out a lot or buying things you don’t need can be the issue, but geography matters, too. For example, we’re in Atlantic Canada – and even if you’re taking a frugal approach to grocery shopping, it’s still pricey – especially if you want to eat uh…food groups other than grains haha. it also doesn’t help that we don’t have the same options re: where to shop (there’s no Aldi’s here, for example). I’m a meal planner, we shop once a week and if I get out of the store spending less than $100, it’s a good week.

Just wanted to add a little more perspective on this. I’m always super impressed with people who can feed like 10 people on $200 a month, but I have accepted that is unlikely to ever be our story, based on where we live.
