Lots of cheaper options out there. You can live cheap eating mostly rice & beans with a few veggies. Get's boring though. I also have a lot of friends who grow and raise their own food. It's starts to be a full time job though.

$300 a month for 3 people isn't that bad. When my daughter still lived with us we spent way more than that. Actually I think we still do. Food costs don't bother me as much as other expenses. Especially phones. Ridiculous how much I spend on something I hate and would love to live without.
