<prompt> Human: Original Post: This i my first post on personalfinance, so sorry if it is in the wrong format. My problem is that Im spending way too much money on food each month. Im spending around 200-300 a month just on myself. Im looking for tips to cut this down as much as possible. Any help would be appreciated. Edit: I guess I should clarify. When I posted this I did not know what was a reasonable amount of money was good to spend on food. I do usually eat. Typically its McDonalds in the morning and someplace for dinner. Now that I know that 200 is a reasonable amount Ill just look into buying groceries more than eating out. Thank you for your help.  <response>: 50 a week in food does not seem unreasonable to me
