That's crazy, your other expenses (internet/electricity) seem comparable, but your food must be so much cheaper than in the US. Where I am, chicken alone is like $5 per pound. I think a pound of any decent cheese is $8-10.

Probably get 0.5-1kg of chicken, or 400g of the finest sausages in Aldi. That along with cheese are by far the most expensive ingredients in that list.

I suppose living fairly near cheddar helps with cheese prices, doesn't have to be sent very far.
