These days, grocery prices are anything but cheap. In fact, the US Department of Agriculture predicts food prices overall will rise 3% this year.
Less than two full months into the year, grocers like Instacart estimates a monthly cost of $363 per person for adults ages 19 to 50 in a four person household.
Same goes for everyone’s favorite spot, Costco. A joint Instagram post by Morning Brew and Phil Andrews from 2024 revealed that Costco shoppers spend approximately $1.75 per minute while in the store. Based on the average 37-minute visit, this estimates a spending total of $64.75. However, commenters noted spending much longer, with some families spending up to 2 hours, which would equate to a bill of as much as $210 by this measure.
