<prompt> Human: I live in upstate NY if it matters. Average grocery bill, including toiletries, detergent, kitchen stuff, etc is 300month. I know this is probably kind of high and there is room to cut back, but I would have to eat less or have lower quality meals. Anyone think this is extremely high, or just a tad bit high?  <response>: I think 300mth is a pretty normal grocery budget from what we see on this sub. Yes, you could cut it back. People can do fine on less than that, but I wouldnt say it was outrageously high.Good luck.
