Fish, other meat (I'm picky about sourcing), cheese. It's not the majority of what I eat, just the most expensive stuff I don't use super slowly (and distorted by the fact I recently bought a bunch of farmer's market cheese, that one might not be true monthly). I should actually keep track of food expenditures, but this is a pretty good guess.0

I spend the most on seafood, spices and vegetables.0
-
Diet soda, meat, and specialty treats2
-
Leafy greens, tofu, broccoli, Almond milk, meyer lemons and other vegetables0
-
We buy a lot of produce and staple items (beans, lentils, chickpeas, etc) but I spend quite a bit on fllavored Perrier & other sparkling water, Greek yogurt, Morningstar Farms frozen foods, and craft beer.2

Fresh produce, meat, and seafood1
-
Probably coffee K-pods, meat and seafood are the most expensive but I usually buy them in bulk and/or on sale. The fresh produce I buy is far cheaper in comparison.0
-
Coffee and tea (I buy fair trade/organic stuff and that can be pricy); vegetables (I eat A LOT of veggies ha); mushrooms; supplements/adaptogens2
-
Produce for sure. I buys a lot of fruits and vegetables, also occasional eggs, shrimp, wild salmon.0
-
Fresh fish and cheeses (those produced here in Italy and protected from their origins--the good stuff).1

I think it is time for me to get to sleep.... I read "Mouth to Mouth" NOT Month to Month. Lovely, now I'm laughing like crazy. Sorry, folks🤣🤣3

I have no idea as i only add 'groceries, edible things' 9and other expenditures of course) to my bookkeeping. I don't think I could even estimate that.1

Same here. I have two lines in my budget actually for groceries - some to spend as needed and then money I set aside every month for bulk food purchases, which is how our family buys most meat, dairy, eggs, grains, and produce. So a couple times per year I dump several hundred dollars at once, but I'm prepaying (like for our CSA) or getting meat to fill our chest freezer that I expect to last for a year.
Our "to spend as needed" grocery money also includes non food consumables, like diapers, any paper products, or household cleaning supplies too.
The highest dollar amount is probably for meat simply because it's the most expensive thing, but I'm pretty sure we consume less meat than the typical American household (at least per person.)1 -
Fresh produce-- and more specifically King Trumpet mushrooms and specialty cooking greens from my favorite Asian grocery.0

Gluten- and dairy-free products for my husband.
He discovered that avoiding both solved a lot of his stomach problems, so he tries to avoid them.
But, he doesn't want to give up ANY of the foods he likes to eat, so that leaves me with buying GF bread, GF pancakes, GF cookies, GF pasta, almond milk, dairy-free ice cream, etc.
This stuff can be 3 or 4 times more expensive than their "regular" counterparts.
Yesssss, I know I could make some of this stuff, but I really don't have the time or patience, and he likes the packaged stuff anyways.1 -
Produce, gum, truvia and stevia, jordans skinny salted caramel syrup, pili nuts0
-
@SuzySunshine99 I both make and buy pre-made GF baked goodies for my husband. Even from scratch, GF is more expensive. I have well over a half dozen of various GF flours in my freezer. Another downside of baking GF from scratch is that many GF recipes for baked items are more time-consuming with both wait times (to let something set) and needing to whip and fold in egg whites.0

Fish, wine, fancy cheese and Marmite crunchy peanut butter.0
