That's like 1/4 of a years worth of groceries for me, damn. That's equivalent to my main entree, 3 times a day every day. In one week.
I often consume dried legumes and rice. With my rice cooker and crockpot, it takes about 3 minutes to cook breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Just cook it, and then set it on the keep hot setting. Put a bit in a lunchbox if I'm not staying home. That way I can have an entree for the whole day, for super cheap, with no real effort, and often at the end of dinner I still have leftovers I put in a jar. The dried food cooked usually costs less than 70 cents per meal, it's extremely cost effective.
The rest of my grocery budget goes to spices, fresh vegetables, fresh fruit, noodles, tofu, and the occasional treat (I consume very little added sugar). I basically only drink water, and I make my own sourdough and Kombucha (which is very cool, and stuff I learned from my mother. Got the mother/bacteria for it from her too. So making that stuff is like she's in the room with me.)
I guess if you're super rich that's not a huge deal, but it's still wild. You could rent a decent place for that kind of money. They could buy a decent $2000 PC each month with the excess money from cooking for themselves.
