<prompt> Human: My girlfriend and I moved in together last year yay!. We keep going over our grocery budget which I want to keep around 600 a month and hitting 750 or 800. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to keep grocery spending in line? Weve tried meal planning, but it never seems to help. Any resources you would point to?  <response>: I try and go super simple for lunches peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, tuna salad sandwiches, chicken salad sandwiches. Loaf of bread is 1-2 bucks and should last a week might want to get 2 loaves. PB and J is basically 5 bucks and that should last a week. I really, really tried to meal prep and eat the same thing every day, but by the end of the week I hated anything in my fridge. Breakfast oatmeal, muffin, protein shake, etc. A 4 pack of big muffins its 5 and lasts me all week. And then I would make dinner with chicken or something equally simple and cheap. Mostly frozen veggies or sweet potatoes.
