I can easily find things like rent, internet, insurance prices, but how do I find things like grocery prices? I honestly don’t even know what an average grocery list might look like, are there resources to help with this? my gf and I are looking into moving out, and assuming a monthly income of ~4400 USD and rent being 500 USD, I think we should be okay, but I need to be 100% that we won’t be barely scraping by or anything. thank you everyone
Awesome! I’ve definitely been there before haha, there’s only so much pizzaz you can add to a sandwich :)
FWIW, my main concern with cooking was time. Meal prep is good, but I personally prefer more variety. I’ve found that this book has a great approach - you do one meal prep cook, and get 3 different meals that use the same core ingredients. During the weekday, since all your proteins and vegetables are prepped, it typically just needs to be thrown together and put into the oven. 10 minutes max of human time, and maybe 20 minutes in the oven.
She has a few free recipes that follow the same format so you can try a cycle of meals before buying the book.
